Treatment of severe scalp avulsion injury through microsurgical vascular anastomosis, subarea multi-tubenegative pressure drainage, and anchoring sutures: a case report.
Article in BMC surgery, 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
backgroundSevere scalp avulsion injury is a rare and surgically challenging due to extensive wounds, calvarial exposure, and associated soft tissue damage. Historically, management has evolved from skin grafting to microsurgical replantation; however, the scarcity of reported cases hinders consensus on optimal protocols. Currently, no definitive clinical guidelines exist for these complex injuries.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the treatment process of a patient admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Liaocheng with a severe scalp avulsion injury. Surgical management included microsurgical vascular anastomosis of bilateral superficial temporal arteries and medial canthal artery, anchoring sutures, and subarea multi-tube negative pressure drainage (- 125 mmHg, 72 h). The clinical evaluation focused on scalp viability, hair regrowth density, and sensory recovery.
resultsThe replanted scalp survived completely, with only minimal Linear scarring. Hair regrowth reached 95% density by day 13 and 100% at 12 months, with 92% sensory recovery observed at 12 months. No complications (thrombosis, infection, or necrosis) occurred. The patient expressed satisfaction with the aesthetic and functional outcomes.
conclusionThis case highlights the novel integration of microsurgical vascular repair, subarea negative pressure drainage, and anchoring sutures, which synergistically improved flap survival and reduced complications compared to traditional microsurgical replantation alone.
