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

introductionPreviously, traumatic amputations particularly those caused by blunt trauma were treated with proper subsequent amputations. However, this led to postoperative pain, disturbances in multiple functions of the extremities including sensory capability and fine motor dexterity.

methodsWe presented five cases of traumatic fingertip amputation treated with spare part composite graft. In spare part composite grafting, both the amputated finger and the distal end (stump) of injured finger was fixated directly after skeletonization of the amputated finger. The blood supply initially depends on diffusion, and later with neovascularization. The regional flap for the soft tissue defect closure was then applied to the composite graft. At the final follow-up of minimum a month, complete graft survival with favorable functional and aesthetic outcomes with minimal complications were observed. Four of the cases had preserved, normal sensory. DISCUSSION AND

conclusionThe spare part composite graft and the use of regional flap for defect closure is an alternative option in selected fingertip amputation with satisfactory results.
