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

Simultaneous reconstructions of entire circumference pharyngoesophageal defect and external neck skin defect are challenges for head and neck surgeons. A 57-year old man, who underwent radical tumor resection, suffered with an advanced metachronous second primary esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SPESCC). Our modified operative technique (mALT-TAAP), a combination of modified free anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap (a fasciocutaneous flap with an extension of fascia) and pedicled thoracoacromial artery perforator (TAAP) flap, was utilized to reconstruct the entire circumference of pharyngoesophageal and external neck skin defect reconstructions. The modified ALT flap, TAAP flap and donor wounds recovered well postoperatively. No morbidity of the donor site or operation-related complication was observed. The postoperative recovery of swallowing function was satisfactory. Our mALT-TAAP reconstruction method could be a decent option for simultaneous reconstructions of entire circumference of pharyngoesophageal defect and external neck skin defect.
