Plastic Reconstruction of Upper Extremity Defects in Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections.
Review in Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. 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
Soft tissue reconstruction in patients with upper extremity necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) can be challenging; these defects can be large with exposed critical structures. Following appropriate source control and debridement, soft tissue reconstruction is based on size, exposed structures, medical co-morbidities and the physiologic status of the patient. There are multiple options for soft tissue coverage from local wound care to free tissue transfer. Dermal substitutes can help prepare a healthy wound bed that can later accept a skin graft. Local rotational flaps, distant pedicled flaps and free flaps are also options depending on the patient and the defect. Patients can have good functional outcomes after soft tissue reconstruction after upper extremity NSTI.
