1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The pedicled posterior interosseous artery flap is a reliable and effective option for reconstructing soft tissue defects in the upper extremity. Commonly described in a retrograde fashion for distal defects, its antegrade counterpart is less frequently reported, particularly in relation to elbow reconstructions. Additionally, there are few and less detailed descriptions on how to safely and correctly identify the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) in the harvest. The current case describes the use of the pedicled antegrade posterior interosseous artery flap to resurface a complex elbow wound with exposed triceps tendon, exposed ulnar nerve and an open elbow joint. We present a detailed step-by-step harvest with the additional anatomical description of the topography of the PIN branches relative to the PIA pedicle.
