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
This study investigates the outcomes of double-paddle anterolateral thigh (ALT) perforator flaps in repairing hand and foot wounds, with emphasis on intraoperative vascular variations. Between April 2019 and April 2021, 10 cases with large defects were planned to be treated using double-paddle ALT flaps based on two descending branches of the lateral circumflex femoral artery (DB-LCFA). In three cases, one perforator arose from an atypical source, and in one case, both skin paddles traced back to a single perforator bifurcating near the skin. All flaps survived, except for one partial necrosis and one intraoperative perforator injury. Most donor sites were closed primarily; two required additional coverage. Follow-up (3-15 months) showed good functional and aesthetic recovery. These results support the double-paddle ALT flap as a viable reconstructive option. However, anatomical variations demand intraoperative adaptability, and when long pedicles are required, converting to two independent flaps may offer better reliability.
