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
This case report presents a novel technique for reconstructing posttraumatic asymmetrical labia majora using a deep external pudendal artery tubular flap. A 20-year-old woman experienced deviation of the urinary stream during micturition as a result of vulvar sequelae following a motorcycle accident. To address atrophy of the unilateral labia majora, we designed a de-epithelialized deep external pudendal artery tubular flap measuring 3 cm in width and 10 cm in length. The flap was delayed for 2 weeks before transposition, during which the lateral borders were incised down to the crural fascia, and the flap bed was partially undermined. During the second stage of the procedure, we de-epithelialized the external epidermal layer, sutured the flap edges in a tubular configuration, and positioned it within the atrophic labia majora pocket. The distal end of the flap was sutured inside the internal labial space for fixation, and the donor site was closed primarily. At the 6-month follow-up, the patient demonstrated satisfactory symmetrization of the labia majora and correction of the deviated urinary stream during urination. The technique achieved both functional improvement and aesthetic restoration of vulvar symmetry and proved to be promising for managing similar posttraumatic deformities in the genital region.
