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

backgroundScalp reconstruction has always been a challenging problem after oncological resection. Advanced surgical techniques can reconstruct any defects, but there are a large number of patients who cannot benefit from surgery for immature strategies. The authors here describe an algorithm for selecting the best reconstructive categories and minimizing complications according to the surgical defect of scalp tumors.

methodsA single-institution retrospective review was conducted that included 173 patients with scalp tumors treated with surgery followed by reconstruction. Patients were identified by tumor type and nature; the location of scalp defect, size, and depth; the types of reconstructions and surgical. A systematic algorithm was developed according to our findings and current literature.

resultsSmall defects (≤4 cm

conclusionsSuccessful scalp reconstruction requires careful preoperative assessment, flexible and precisely intraoperative management. The algorithm based on defect size, depth, and location can supply some degree of guidelines when considering choosing suitable reconstructive procedures.
