Staged reconstruction of the traumatic large soft-tissue defect in the leg.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Case: We present a case of an elderly female patient with a chronic lower leg wound involving bone exposure in the tibia. Despite the absence of overt infection, low-grade osteomyelitis was suspected. Given the patient's age and overall fitness, we opted for a staged reconstructive approach using negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), followed by sequential pedicled muscle flaps and skin grafting. This method was favored over free flap reconstruction due to patient-specific factors and the aim of minimizing donor site morbidity. The outcome was functionally and aesthetically satisfactory, with no signs of flap failure or recurrent infection. Conclusion: This case highlights the utility of staged reconstruction using local muscle flaps combined with NPWT in elderly patients, offering a limb-salvaging alternative to free tissue transfer in selected cases.
