A comparative study on the clinical outcomes of local flap transfer and free flap transplantation for the repair of lower limb bone exposure wounds.

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
Objective: To compare and analyze the clinical outcomes of local flap transfer and free flap transplantation for the repair of lower limb bone exposure wounds. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 90 patients with lower limb bone exposure wounds admitted to our hospital from December 2022 to January 2024. Patients were divided into two groups based on the type of flap repair: the local flap group ( Results: Compared with the local flap group, the free flap group had longer surgical duration, greater intraoperative blood loss, and shorter hospital stay, with statistically significant differences ( Conclusion: Local flap transfer has the advantages of less surgical trauma and fewer complications; although free flap transplantation is more complex in operation and has a higher risk of complications, it has more advantages in functional recovery and improvement of quality of life.
