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
We introduced a new, simple, reliable method for monitoring a free jejunal graft transfer by assessing visual signs and arterial blood flow in an exteriorized flap. In this retrospective study, all patients that underwent free jejunal graft transfers in hypopharyngeal reconstruction microsurgery between January 2013 and March 2020 were included. We monitored exteriorized flaps by assessing either visual signs only (n = 176) or both visual signs and arterial sound, detected using a hand-held Doppler (n = 164). Postoperative arterial insufficiency occurred in five flaps monitored with visual signs only. None of these flaps could be rescued. Postoperative arterial insufficiency occurred in four flaps monitored with both visual signs and a hand-held Doppler. Of these, two flaps were rescued. The new method led to satisfying results. The combination of visual signs and a hand-held Doppler provided a simple, reliable method for monitoring free jejunal graft transfers.
