Reconstruction of Stage IV Pressure Ulcers Using Delayed Flaps in a Pediatric Patient With Spinal Cord Injury: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Reconstructing pressure ulcers (PUs) in pediatric patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) requires careful surgical planning to minimize functional loss. This case report presents a seven-year-old female patient with a complete T3 SCI and paraplegia who developed large stage IV PUs over the bilateral anterolateral hips. Reconstruction of the right hip was successfully performed using a delayed fasciocutaneous flap based on the superficial inferior epigastric artery/vein (SIEA/SIEV), which was selected as an alternative to a traditional musculocutaneous flap to minimize core muscle function loss for the patient. The positive outcome of the present case demonstrates the potential of delayed flaps for reconstructing large wounds while preserving muscle function in pediatric patients with SCI.
