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
objectiveTo compare the clinical efficacy of transverse wrist crease perforator flap, the retrograde island flap of proper digital artery, the nutrient vascular fascial pedicled skin flap and the toes lateral free flap in the repair of finger soft tissue defects.
methodsWe reviewed the data of 106 patients with finger soft tissue defects who were admitted to Longgang District Orthopedic Hospital from January 2017 to December 2020. The patients were divided into four groups based on the treatment method: Group A (transverse wrist crease perforator flap repair group, N = 27), Group B (retrograde island flap of proper digital artery repair group, N = 23), Group C (nutrient vascular fascial pedicled skin flap repair group, N = 26) and Group D (toes lateral free flap repair group, N = 30). There was no significant difference in sex ratio, age, cause of injury, time of injury and area of defect between the four groups (
resultsThere was no significant difference in wound recovery time among the four groups (
conclusionThe lateral free flap from the toe is an ideal method for repairing soft tissue defects of the finger, as it effectively restores the finger's shape and skin sensation with minimal complications and a concealed donor site.
