Innervated Local Flap Reconstruction for Digital Soft Tissue Defects: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in ANZ journal of surgery. 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
Restoration of tactile sensation in fingertip reconstruction is essential for hand function. This systematic review aimed to evaluate differences in the outcomes of innervated (IF) and noninnervated local flap (NIF) reconstruction for digital soft tissue defects. PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane, and EMBASE databases were systematically searched. English-language articles reporting sensibility outcomes were included. Eleven studies, published between 1983 and 2023, with a total of 591 flaps were included in the analysis. The sensibility outcome of the reconstructed fingers in IF is significantly better than that of NIF. Neurorrhaphy should be performed in local flap fingertip reconstruction to improve the sensory outcome.
