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

Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the lower lip. Environmental factors such as ultraviolet light exposure, arsenic and smoking are contributing factors to the increasing incidence. Mohs surgery is the treatment of choice ensuring the lowest recurrence rates. The closure of the surgical defects, however, can be a challenge. Multiple and versatile methods of reconstructing vermilion defects have been described. Among these options, Goldstein developed the adjacent ipsilateral vermilion flap based on an arterialized myocutaneous flap. The original technique was modified by Sawada based on bilateral adjacent vermilion advancement flap for closure of central vermilion defects. We report the use of bilateral flaps - Sawada's technique (instead of unilateral as suggested by Goldstein) in medium (2 cm of extension) to large defects (> 2 cm) to achieve an effective and functional reconstruction of vermillion defects after Mohs surgery for lip cancer.
