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
Chronic genital wounds following oncological surgery and radiation are uncommon and challenging to reconstruct because of scarred, poorly vascularized tissues and proximity to the urethra and testes. We report a 73-year-old man with a 2-year nonhealing wound at the base of the penis and right hemiscrotum after orchiectomy and adjuvant therapy. He presented for operative excision, skin substitute placement, and negative-pressure wound therapy. His early course was complicated by persistent venous oozing requiring ongoing hemostatic measures and subsequent operative debridement. Final pathology showed no malignancy recurrence. Given the extent of tissue loss and failed prior grafting, definitive coverage was achieved with a pedicled superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) fasciocutaneous flap with indocyanine green-confirmed perfusion and 2 Blake drains. The flap remained viable with excellent capillary refill. Postoperatively, he developed acute blood-loss anemia, transient acute kidney injury that resolved with medical optimization, and a medication-associated hypoxic event after prophylactic antibiotics, all managed without flap compromise. This case highlights decision-making for staged wound bed optimization, selection of a pedicled SCIP flap in a radiated field after skin grafting failure, and perioperative management considerations in an older patient with cardiovascular comorbidities. The SCIP flap provided durable, sensate coverage with favorable early outcomes, supporting its role as a versatile option for complex genital reconstruction when skin grafting is unlikely to succeed.
