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

purposeThe greater palatine artery (GPA) is one of the main vessels supplying the nasal septum. We recently described a novel technique to reconstruct a nasal septal perforation (NSP) using a GPA flap. This radiological study explores the feasibility and limits of using a GPA flap for an anterior NSP repair.

methodsWe describe our technique for repairing anterior-most NSP. Radiological measurements of the GPA flap and their limits were analysed. Additionally, a cohort of four patients who underwent reconstruction of a NSP with a GPA flap was included.

resultsThe radiological study of 150 nasal cavities showed a 31.5 ± 2.7 cm

conclusionThe unilateral GPA pedicled flap is a useful technique suitable for the reconstruction of anterior-most perforations that are difficult to cover with other endonasal techniques.
