Soft Tissue Reconstruction in the Extremities: Principles, Techniques, and Outcomes.
Review in Seminars in plastic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 the extremities is complicated by the fact that injuries often involve composite defects of skin, muscle, tendon, nerve, and bone. In both the upper and lower limbs, achieving reliable soft tissue coverage, restoring function, and reducing complications are critical goals. The upper extremity requires precision and fine manipulation, whereas the lower limb should be reconstructed to support weight-bearing and mobility. Free flaps have become a routine part of the surgical armamentarium, offering flexible solutions tailored to different needs. Donor sites in the lower extremities are favored due to the availability of high-quality tissue, minimal visible scarring, and the possibility of a two-team approach. Careful planning not only improves wound healing but also accelerates rehabilitation and reduces the need for revision surgeries, underscoring the importance of flap choice, anatomical knowledge, and surgical skill.
