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

backgroundWhen using digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI), large amounts of data (big data) are produced, which can be processed by computers and used in the field of microvascular-reconstructive craniomaxillofacial surgery (CMFS).

objectiveThe aim of this article is to summarize current applications of digitalized medicine and AI in microvascular reconstructive CMFS. MATERIAL AND

methodsReview of frequent applications of digital medicine for microvascular CMFS reconstruction, focusing on digital planning, navigation, robotics and potential applications with AI.

resultsThe broadest utilization of medical digitalization is in the virtual planning of microvascular transplants, individualized implants and template-guided reconstruction. Navigation is commonly used for ablative tumor surgery but less frequently in reconstructions. Robotics are mainly employed in the transoral approach for tumor surgery of the hypopharynx, whereas the use of AI is still limited even if possible applications would be automated virtual planning and monitoring systems.

conclusionThe use of digitalized methods and AI are adjuncts to microvascular reconstruction. Automatization approaches and simplification of technologies will provide such applications to a broader clientele in the future; however, in CMFS, robotic-assisted resections and automated flap monitoring are not yet the standard of care.
