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

Introduction: Congenital syndactyly is described as the failure of two or more digits to separate, resulting in fusion of soft tissue or osseous structures. Although traditional techniques involving surgical release and skin grafting are cornerstones of syndactyly reconstruction, over the last decade the use of synthetic grafts for skin deficit coverage has become increasingly popular due to improved scar cosmesis and decreased rates of web creep. Case Report: A 6-month-old Caucasian male with complete syndactyly of the third through fifth digits of bilateral hands underwent staged syndactyly reconstruction using Hyalomatrix synthetic graft coverage for skin deficits of the bilateral ring fingers, resulting in successful resolution of the skin deficits without scarring or significant web creep. Conclusion: Synthetic skin grafts provide excellent coverage and cosmesis for skin deficits not amenable to primary closure during complex, complete syndactyly reconstruction in pediatric patients.
