Free latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap coverage of traumatic lower limb defect with transposition of the skin paddle: a flap within a flap.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
The free latissimus dorsi (LD) musculocutaneous flap is a reliable option in the reconstruction of traumatic lower limb defects. It is particularly useful in the coverage of extensive or circumferential wounds because of its large surface area and thinness. Our paper presents a modification of this free flap by performing perforator-guided transposition of the distal portion of the skin paddle and utilizing it as an additional local flap to cover exposed bone. We believe that this method is simple, reproducible, and useful in extensive wounds where the critical defect cannot be covered by the LD muscle alone.
