The Free Chimeric Great Toe and Second Toe Pulp Flap for Reconstruction of Complex Digital Defects.

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
Toe-to-hand transfers have been extensively described in the literature and are nowadays a fairly common tool in the armamentarium of the reconstructive hand surgeon. Despite this, little has been reported about the chimeric use of flaps based on the first dorsal metatarsal artery. We report here an innovative technique for harvesting the great toe and second toe pulps in a chimeric fashion, which we have found particularly useful in reconstructing digital defects in cases of complex hand trauma involving multiple digits. We describe the technique for flap harvest and illustrate its usefulness through 4 cases of complex hand trauma where we have successfully used it to retain length and function of the digits.
