Targeted Muscle Reinnervation in Wartime Amputation: A Review of Pediatric Literature and Feasibility in Current Conflicts.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Treatment of war-related injuries is complex. The mechanism of injury, inherent infection risk, and disrupted medical infrastructure result in worse outcomes after acute extremity amputation. There have been a large number of wartime traumatic and surgical extremity amputations across the globe, namely in connection with the active conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. Targeted muscle reinnervation is a low-risk procedure that has been shown to be effective in treating and preventing neuroma-associated pain and phantom limb pain in extremity amputation patients. Its utility in Ukraine, Gaza, and future conflicts has not been described and is important to outline. We aimed to describe the utility of targeted muscle reinnervation in the management of traumatic amputations and the overall implications this procedure could have on the adult and pediatric patients affected by these conflicts.
