Diabetic Ray Amputation Wounds Managed With Local Flap Surgery and Negative Pressure Wound Therapy: A Case Series.
Article in International wound journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A new surgical technique for ray amputation of the diabetic foot is described. The procedure provides soft tissue reconstruction using a local flap in combination with negative pressure wound therapy to close these wounds safely and effectively. This article reports on 12 patients treated with this technique in a Tertiary Hospital/General Hospital in Singapore and compares their outcomes to those of 12 comparative cases from neighbouring institutions under the same health group who received conventional dressings. The new technique led to a higher number of healed wounds (12 vs. 4) and a shorter median time to healing (46.5 vs. 196.5 days). No major amputation or further minor amputation of the target limb occurred in the group treated with the new technique, whereas one major amputation and two further minor amputations took place in the comparison group. Our results suggest that the new technique is promising in this diabetic population with concurrent comorbidities.
