Application of FACE-Q and NOSE in Nasal Reconstruction with Paramedian Frontal Flap after Skin Cancer Resection.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionNonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is responsible for high morbidity and mortality, resulting in a high cost to the health system. The nose is the leading region affected by this type of tumor and may need reconstruction by tissue transfer. The paramedian forehead flap (PFF) is one of the main options used, and the factors that influence the result should be studied. The FACE-Q questionnaire allows the assessment of appearance, quality of life, and side effects related to the procedure, whereas the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation questionnaire enables the nose function evaluation.
methodsThis study evaluates nasal reconstruction with a PFF after resection of NMSC with the FACE-Q questionnaire and Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation. Spearman Rank correlation coefficient tests between the questionnaire results and patients' characteristics were performed.
resultsThe questionnaires were completely answered by 49 patients who underwent this reconstruction between 2011 and 2019 in a cancer center. The patients' evaluations demonstrate high satisfaction with appearance, quality of life, side effects, and function. Completing reconstruction under 6 months was associated with a higher quality of life among patients (
conclusionThis study suggests that the PFF is a reliable option for nasal reconstruction. Identifying the total reconstruction time as an impact factor on patients' quality of life should be considered when planning treatment.
