Extended and unusual indications in jaw reconstruction with the fibula flap: An overview based on our 30-year experience.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Since the introduction of fibula flap as a reconstructive technique, an evolution of indications has been observed. Our first report of a traumatic mandibular reconstruction using fibula flap was in 1992. The vast majority of indications for surgery, are: malignant tumors, benign neoplasms, osteoradionecrosis and traumas. Nevertheless, extended indications have been described such as the treatment of dentoalveolar defect without bone discontinuity or reconstruction of maxilla defect up to type III (A and B), according to Cordeiro's classification. Unusual indications include cleft palate malformations with bone discontinuity less than 6 cm. Moreover, a particular attention should be focus on fibula flap harvest with more innovative technologies than traditional use of monopolar or bipolar and their advantages in pre and postoperative management.
