Reconsidering the Role of V-Y Fasciocutaneous Flaps in Abdominoperineal Resection Reconstruction With the Addition of a Pelvic Exclusion Mesh.

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
Perineal wounds created during abdominoperineal resection present a reconstructive challenge with risk for wound complications and infections. Various reconstructive techniques, from primary closure to regional muscle transfer, have been used, but there remains no consensus on the ideal management of these perineal wounds. Gluteal fasciocutaneous advancement flap (V-Y advancement tissue transfer) reconstruction provides reliable wound closure with low complication rates. We describe our experience managing 10 patients with rectal cancer, status postneoadjuvant chemoradiation, who underwent abdominoperineal resection followed by gluteal advancement flap reconstruction and pelvic exclusion mesh with only minor nonoperative delayed wound healing, short length of stay, decreased donor site morbidity, and no ostomy complications from prone positioning. Gluteal fasciocutaneous flaps combined with pelvic exclusion mesh should be further studied to establish their role as a reconstructive modality for addressing perineal wounds.
