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
Delayed reconstruction of segmental extensor tendon defects of the hand has been described with auto-tendon grafting or by using local flaps harvested from the native tendon. These reconstructive techniques have been described in certain extensor tendon zones, mainly in zones 2, 4, and 5 of the hand. Borrowing auto-tendon grafts will have donor site morbidity. The use of available local tendon as flap may be considered, the tendon harvesting being done from a part of the native tendon from either proximal or distal location. The index and little fingers have the advantage of having two tendons to do the same function and hence these tendons may be utilized as a whole to our advantage as distally based tendon flip flap to reconstruct zone 4 and 5 extensor tendon defects with good functional outcomes.
