1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of combined anterolateral thigh-ilioinguinal Flow-through flaps for repairing complex lower limb defects. Methods: A clinical data of 20 patients with complex lower limb injuries admitted between January 2018 and January 2024 was retrospectively analyzed. The cohort included 14 males and 6 females with an average age of 47.3 years (range, 29-65 years). Injury mechanisms comprised heavy-object trauma ( Results: Postoperatively, the flap complete necrosis occurred in 1 case, marginal necrosis in 1 case, superficial infections in 2 cases, and venous thrombosis in 1 case. The remaining flaps survived completely with primary wound healing at both recipient and donor sites. Limb salvage was achieved in all patients. All patients were followed up with 12-24 months (mean, 18.4 months). All flaps had satisfactory color, texture, and contour. Fractures reached clinical union in all cases. Donor site morbidity included mild contralateral hip flexion/knee extension limitation ( Conclusion: The anterolateral thigh-ilioinguinal Flow-through flaps for repairing complex lower limb injuries is a good method. The distal blood supply of the affected side recover well, the survival rate of the flap is high, and the function recovery of the affected limb is good.
