1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThere are numerous methods to mold and shape cartilage grafts for use in rhinoplasty. Each technique has advantages and disadvantages. We are going to introduce a new method for cartilage shaping with long lasting effects confirmed by follow up examination and pathologic evaluation.

methodsGrated cartilage was used in 483 patients. For 89 cases, it was wrapped in fascia and in 394 patients, used as a filler per se or in contiguity with solid structural grafts. In 51 patients, the operation was primary rhinoplasty and 432 cases, underwent secondary rhinoplasty. Postoperatively, there was a mean follow up of 2.8 years. Graft viability, and capability to maintain almost original volume, and general durability were assessed.

resultsOut of 483 patients, only 23 cases (4.7%) needed later correction. In 11 cases (2%), it was due to overcorrection and some minor imperfections. In the rest 12 cases (2%), there was a need for more augmentation probably due to some degree of graft resorption. Three cases of these 12 patients, were corrected by outpatient shaved cartilage injection.

conclusionAccording to the very low revision rate (less than 5%), we strongly recommend our grated cartilage graft for use in primary and secondary rhinoplasty. Our study showed that patient and surgeon`s satisfaction can be achieved with a high degree of confidence.
