Complex facial reconstruction with invasive and non-invasive conventional interventions.
Article in JPRAS open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
backgroundDespite the obvious advantages, face transplantation requires strict patient selection to guarantee optimal outcomes. Therefore, it is not suitable for all patients with severe facial disfigurements. Simultaneously, conventional plastic and reconstructive surgery techniques, as well as medical spa techniques, have evolved, offering minimally invasive treatment of complex deformities.
methodsThe entire face of a young woman was severely disfigured because of a mistreated juvenile acne, with severe ectropions, oral incompetence and substantial midfacial tissue defect. We are describing the reconstruction with a combination of conventional reconstructive methods, such as scar release, skin transplantation, local flaps, medical needling and lipofilling.
resultsOral competence, unhindered breathing and adequate lid closure was achieved. Previously unable to participate in social life in any meaningful way, our patient was able to reintegrate fully and take a job.
conclusionFor selected patients, combined, invasive and non-invasive conventional techniques can provide satisfying outcomes in complex facial reconstruction. Modern regenerative approaches such as lipofilling and medical needling should be considered as integral parts of treatment strategies.
