Application of Multilayer Dermal Regeneration Templates in Fingertip and Nail Bed Reconstruction: A Retrospective Comparative Study.
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
Background: Fingertip and nail bed injuries present a clinical challenge, requiring restoration of sensory, functional, and cosmetic integrity without donor-site morbidity. Multilayer dermal regeneration templates (DRTs), including Integra and Terudermis, offer a promising alternative to traditional flap techniques. Methods: This retrospective comparative study included 30 patients with Allen type I-III fingertip injuries treated at a tertiary medical center in Taiwan between January 2020 and December 2022. Reconstructions utilized Integra (n = 12) or Terudermis (n = 18). At 6 months, outcomes were assessed for wound-healing efficacy, cosmetic appearance, sensory recovery, functional restoration, and patient satisfaction. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney Results: Both Integra and Terudermis achieved comparable outcomes ( Conclusions: Multilayer DRTs are effective for fingertip and nail bed reconstruction, offering comparable healing efficiency, reliable sensory and functional recovery, and favorable cosmetic and patient-reported outcomes. Integra and Terudermis demonstrated comparable outcomes, supporting their use as viable, donor-site-free options in fingertip reconstruction.
