A Novel Method for Full-thickness Skin Graft Fixation Over the Fingers in Complex Hand Reconstruction.

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
Tie-over bolster dressing has been the gold standard for full-thickness skin graft (FTSG) immobilization. However, in complex hand reconstruction, which involves multiple fingers, the anatomy is relatively complex, and there are many curvatures and irregular surfaces. Therefore, complex hand reconstruction is usually time-consuming if tie-over is applied to the whole hand, including individual fingers. We present a simple and effective technique to secure the FTSG over the fingers with a self-adherent wrap elastic bandage (3M Coban) without the need for tie-over dressing. Fifty-three patients with a total of 74 hands with burn deformities were treated with our proposed method. All the skin grafts over the fingers had taken well without obvious hematoma formation, necrosis, or infection. The mean follow-up time was 27.82 months (range, 1-78 mo). This novel method could decrease the operation time with reliable results.
