Supermicrosurgery in Reconstructive Surgery: A Narrative Review.
Article in Archives of plastic surgery, 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
Supermicrosurgery, defined as the anastomosis of vessels smaller than 0.8 mm, represents a significant evolution in the field of reconstructive microsurgery. This review explores its technical foundations, clinical applications, and future directions, with a particular focus on lower extremity reconstruction. By utilizing perforator-to-perforator anastomosis and thin flap techniques, supermicrosurgery allows for reduced donor morbidity, minimized risk to major vessels, and improved aesthetic and functional outcomes. The integration of high-frequency ultrasonography and advanced microsurgical tools has enhanced preoperative planning and intraoperative precision. Despite a steep learning curve, supermicrosurgery is increasingly applied in oncologic, traumatic, ischemic, and diabetic foot reconstructions. Continued innovation in imaging, instrumentation, and robotic assistance suggests a promising future for this subspecialty.
