Pediatric Lower Extremity Lawnmower Injuries Requiring Free Tissue Transfer.

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
Pediatric lower extremity lawnmower injuries are high-energy traumas that often result in severe composite tissue loss and require advanced reconstruction. Compared with other mechanisms of pediatric lower extremity trauma, these injuries have a higher incidence of amputation and complex reconstruction. This case series describes 3 pediatric patients, aged 2.5-10 years, who sustained severe lower extremity lawnmower injuries that were managed with free tissue transfer (FTT). Reconstructions included a tensor fasciae latae perforator flap, a latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap, and an anterolateral thigh perforator flap. These cases demonstrate the practical importance of early escalation to FTT, judicious reconstructive timing, appropriate flap selection between fasciocutaneous and musculocutaneous options, recognition of the indications and limitations of preoperative vascular imaging, and consideration of the unique perioperative challenges associated with FTT.
