A Protocol for Management of the Hairs Problem in Oral Cavity Reconstruction by Submental Flap.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundSubmental flap is a useful aid in maxillofacial reconstruction. For intraoral usage the hairs in male patients will create some problems. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn a retrospective study, patients in whom submental flap had been used for reconstruction of orofacial region between 2007 and 2013, in the Mashhad University, Ghaem Hospital, were included. The ways in which the problem of hairs was solved in male patients were evaluated.
resultsThere were 42 patients in whom submental flap was used for orofacial reconstruction. Sixty percent were males. Three ways had been used for management of intraoral hairs: radiotherapy (9 patients), second surgery (2 patients) and flap de-epithelialization (13 patients).
conclusionDeepithelialized variant of submental flap is the best option when submental flap is used for oral cavity reconstruction in male patients. Flap thickness, age, race and postoperative radiotherapy can have strong influence on this strategy.
