Marginal Mandibulectomy Defect Reconstruction with Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous (PMMC) Flap in Cases of Carcinoma Buccal Mucosa: Experience from a Tertiary Cancer Institute.
Article in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Patients with carcinoma buccal mucosa requiring marginal mandibulectomy pose various key challenges with regard to reconstruction. To study the role and feasibility of the PMMC flap reconstruction in patients of carcinoma buccal mucosa with intact mandible. Study design: retrospective analysis of prospectively maintained data at a tertiary cancer institute in India. Inclusion criteria: all patients of carcinoma buccal mucosa undergoing marginal mandibulectomy at our institute from 1st Jan 2015 to 31st March 2018 with reconstruction done by the PMMC flap. The retrospective analysis showed 82 patients satisfied the inclusion criteria. Median age of the patients was 46 years. Seventy-seven (93.90%) patients were male while 5 (6.09%) patients were female. Median Ryle's tube dependency was 13 days. Median follow-up period was 28 months. All the patients had acceptable cosmesis and mouth opening with minimal morbidity. PMMC flap reconstruction after marginal mandibulectomy in patients with carcinoma buccal mucosa is a robust, cosmetically, and functionally acceptable option.
