Perioperative Applications of Electrical Stimulation in Flap Surgeries: Mechanisms and Benefits.
Review in Advances in skin & wound care, 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
objectiveTo review the roles and applications of electrical stimulation in flap transplantation, addressing its potential to reduce flap necrosis. DATA SOURCES: Medical textbooks and a literature search were conducted in databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and relevant surgical journals. STUDY SELECTION: Articles were screened using keywords including electrical stimulation, flap transplantation, angiogenesis, vasodilation, antibacterial, vasopasm, inflammation, wound healing, cell migration, and cell proliferation. Articles in which the title and/or abstract contained these key words were included in the review. More than 120 journal research articles met the criteria. DATA EXTRACTION: Research highlighted the benefits and molecular mechanisms of electrical stimulation on the healing progress of flap transplantation, which underwent a full-text review and summarization. DATA SYNTHESIS: Classify and descriptively summarize the articles based on perioperative factors closely related to flap survival. The mechanisms underlying these benefits are discussed, alongside their clinical significance.
conclusionsPreoperative electrical stimulation fosters angiogenesis and new blood vessel growth, whereas postoperative stimulation aids in infection control, edema reduction, and overall wound healing. Electrical stimulation shows significant promise in improving outcomes of flap surgeries.
