Scrotal Reconstruction Using a Free Ulnar Forearm Flap: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Scrotal defects requiring reconstruction may occur after trauma, cancer, or infection. To maintain good testicular function, the ideal scrotal temperature should be slightly lower than the abdominal temperature. However, large local flaps that are enough to cover the testes cannot be used in all patients. A 74-year-old man presented with scrotal and perineal tissue defects after undergoing debridement for Fournier's gangrene due to rectal carcinoma-induced perforation. The scrotal skin defect was reconstructed using a 22 × 10-cm-free ulnar forearm flap. The postoperative course was uneventful, and at the 14-month follow-up examination, the scrotal skin was found to be thin and pliable. Moreover, the donor site on the left forearm was in an acceptable state and no hand dysfunction due to contracture was observed. Based on our observations, we recommend that the free ulnar forearm flap might be an effective option for scrotal reconstruction, causing little donor site morbidity.
