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

backgroundRecent studies have demonstrated that early division of the forehead flap (FHF) is possible if angiography is performed or a remnant of the pedicle is left behind. Whether or not careful selection of patients allows for complete division of the pedicle has not been studied.

objectiveTo assess if careful selection of patients allows for early complete division of the FHF.

methodsThe exclusion criteria were trauma in the donor region, full-thickness defects, or a larger cartilage grafting. In the selected patients, complete division of the FHF pedicle was performed at early time points, when the pedicle was clinically engrafted (n = 12).

resultsThe median age of the patients was 80 years ± 8. The average size of the wounds was 6.6 cm LIMITATIONS: Retrospective, single-center study.

conclusionCareful selection allows for complete early division of the pedicle of FHF.
