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
Complete resection of anterior chest wall keloids and direct closure of wound defects are difficult. Therefore, intrakeloid excision is usually the safest to treat anterior chest wall keloids. Total excision to relieve tension may require tensile suturing of the dermis or skin grafting, which can lead to recurrence or poor cosmetic outcomes. In this study, we performed total resection of the anterior chest wall keloid, followed by defect reconstruction using bilateral lotus petal flaps for the internal mammary artery perforators near the keloid, obtaining satisfactory results. When performing total keloid resection, releasing the precordial tension in the reconstruction area is crucial. The lotus petal flap, which can be elevated from the same precordial chest area, effectively releases tension and thus provides a beneficial treatment strategy.
