Finger replantation in Jordan: evaluating the knowledge, attitudes, practices, and barriers among doctors and medical students.
Article in Future science OA, 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
backgroundFinger replantation is a complex microsurgical procedure that requires optimal conditions for success. Understanding the knowledge and awareness of healthcare professionals regarding finger preservation and replantation can help improve outcomes for patients with amputated fingers.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among healthcare professionals, including clinical years medical students, surgical residents, and specialists. The survey assessed participants' knowledge of factors influencing the finger replantation success, the appropriate management of amputated fingers before surgery, the ideal time for replantation, and key considerations for finger preservation.
resultsAmong 197 participants, 81.2% correctly identified finger replantation as a surgical procedure to reattach a severed finger. However, 9.6% incorrectly believed it was a technique to preserve the finger for later reattachment. The most frequently reported barriers to performing finger replantation included lack of training or expertise (78.2%), limited access to specialized surgical instruments (66.5%), and financial constraints (61.9%). Significant differences were found across professional groups regarding perceived barriers, particularly in terms of training, access to surgical instruments, and infrastructure.
conclusionWhile general knowledge of finger replantation is high, key misconceptions and barriers; like limited training, resources, and funding, persist. Improving education, infrastructure, and specialized programs is vital to expanding access and enhance outcomes.
