A novel approach used for reconstruction of facial blast wound injury-a case report from the Russo-Ukrainian war.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The current Russo-Ukrainian war has seen the return of similar patterns seen in the First World War. The aim is to demonstrate a case of facial reconstruction using a rotational flap to highlight the utility of dynamic digital thermography (DDT) and handheld Doppler. A 41-year-old soldier suffered a fragmentation injury to the right half of his upper lip from artillery fire in Eastern Ukraine. Dynamic digital thermography and Doppler were used pre-, intra-, and postoperatively to monitor the clinical status of the rotational flap. The patient made an excellent recovery and was discharged on postoperative Day 7. Dynamic multimodal monitoring of the wound throughout the reconstruction aids clinical decision-making, especially when access to computed tomography is limited. This novel application of existing technology may have relevance for military or humanitarian surgeons who must be prepared to deal with significant injuries without access to cross-sectional imaging.
