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
Background: This study aimed to clarify the clinical efficacy of the free dorsal interosseous flap (DIOF) combined with tendon grafting in one-stage reconstruction of composite dorsal wrist soft tissue defects, and comprehensively evaluate the survival rate of the flap, wrist joint function recovery, and subjective experience of patients. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 28 patients (18 men and 10 women) with composite dorsal wrist defects (size, 5 cm × 8 cm-14 cm × 10 cm, involving 3-5 extensor tendons) treated between January 2019 and June 2023. All patients underwent one-stage reconstruction using the free DIOF with tendon grafting. In addition to these conventional evaluation indicators [flap survival rate, wrist total active motion (TAM), grip strength recovery, DASH scores, Mayo scores, and sensory recovery], high-frequency ultrasound tendon healing evaluation, laser Doppler flap blood flow monitoring, wrist stability test, and Likert scale satisfaction survey were added. The patients were followed up for 12 months and analyzed using a multi-dimensional evaluation system. Results: The flap survival rate was 95.2% (27/28), with one case of partial necrosis healing after a dressing change. At 12 months, TAM reached (112.5 ± 11.8)°, grip strength recovery was (83.7 ± 7.5) %, DASH scores improved to (13.2 ± 3.5) points, and Mayo scores depicted excellent/good outcomes in 85.7% (excellent 15, good 9). Sensory recovery achieved S3 Conclusion: One-stage reconstruction using free DIOF combined with autologous tendon grafting effectively facilitates wrist joint function recovery, demonstrating satisfactory clinical outcomes.
