Complex Wound Reconstruction in a Patient With Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

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
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a hereditary condition marked by collagen defects leading to tissue fragility throughout various body systems. One notable challenge for patients with EDS is compromised wound healing due to connective tissue fragility. This study described the case of a 53-year-old man with classical type EDS, presenting with a significant wound over his left knee, following numerous complications after a patellar tendon rupture. Traditional healing methods, including a gastrocnemius flap, were of limited benefit due to the patient's EDS condition. A novel surgical approach, involving the use of a split-thickness skin graft combined with the Recell Autologous Skin Cell Harvesting Device, resulted in successful wound healing. Ten months postsurgery, the patient demonstrated excellent graft adherence without any complications. This case indicates the potential benefits of the split-thickness skin graft and Recell method for patients with EDS, offering an effective treatment modality for significant wound healing challenges in this population.
