Reconstruction of a Giant Congenital Melanocytic Nevus Defect With a Submental Flap in a Global Health Setting.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Excision of a facial congenital melanocytic nevus (CMN) is a common reason for consultation in pediatric plastic surgery. Facial nevi are generally small and uncomplicated to remove and become more complex when large or giant. The available resources determine treatment and excision options. The indication for excision is generally based on esthetic criteria; however, the risk of melanoma increases with the nevi diameter. This patient with a giant CMN (GCMN) was encountered on an international medical mission trip. The palm-sized lesion spanned from her left zygomatic arch down to the jawline. Due to the esthetic impact and lack of resources to continue monitoring the lesion, complete excision was performed. The resultant defect was reconstructed with a pedicled submental flap. This article presents management and reconstruction of a facial GCMN encountered in the global setting and presents a brief literature review of GCMN.
