Contemporary reconstruction after complex facial trauma.
Review in Burns & trauma, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Complex facial trauma requires complex repair and solutions. This process is challenging for the surgeon who seeks to manage the expectations of the patient and family while achieving the best possible result. Historically, the use of pedicled flaps, and then free tissue transfer, were the primary techniques utilized. Advancements in soft-tissue reconstruction, such as perforator flaps and pre-expanded and prefabricated flaps, allow refinement of the soft-tissue reconstruction process to create the best initial soft-tissue coverage. The advent of contemporary technologies, such as virtual surgical planning, stereolithography and customized implants and plates, facilitates a tailored approach to the patient's reconstructive needs for precise bony reconstruction. When surgical and technological techniques are combined in complementary multistage reconstructions, better reconstructive and aesthetic outcomes are achievable than ever before. In this review, the authors present a summary of the management of complex facial trauma based on the senior author's broad experience. Initial management and contemporary reconstructive techniques and technology to provide optimal outcomes are reviewed. A case series of complex facial traumas and their reconstructive process is also presented to demonstrate how complementary staged procedures can yield an optimal result. We believe the reconstructive surgeon managing complex facial trauma should strive to incorporate contemporary technologies and techniques into their armamentarium to provide the best patient care.
