Pedicled Supraclavicular Flap for Neck Defect Reconstruction in Poland Syndrome.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionThe most accepted pathogenesis for Poland syndrome is the subclavian artery supply disruption sequence during embryonic growth. The result is associated with a constellation of abnormalities of structures supplied by the subclavian artery. We present a case of a neck defect reconstructed with a fasciocutaneous supraclavicular flap in a patient with Poland syndrome with the absence of a pectoralis major muscle. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the use of the supraclavicular flap in patients with Poland syndrome.
methodsAn 80-year-old patient with a 14-mm-Breslow-thickness melanoma had undergone a 3-cm-wide local excision of the scar on his right neck and reconstruction with a pedicled supraclavicular flap despite him having Poland syndrome on the same side.
resultsThe flap was well perfused, and the patient was discharged at postoperative day 5. Complete healing of the flap was observed without any flap loss.
conclusionThe supraclavicular fasciocutaneous flap is a versatile and useful pedicled flap reconstruction for head and neck defects. It is possible in patients with Poland syndrome as shown, and the pedicle should be checked with preoperative Doppler and an exploratory incision before completely raising it.
