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

Objective: To explore the application value of infrared thermography (IRT) technique assisted peroneal artery perforator flap in repairing oral and maxillofacial defects. Methods: The clinical data of 20 patients with oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors treated with peroneal artery perforator flap between October 2020 and December 2021 were retrospectively analysed. There were 13 males and 7 females, with an average age of 56.5 years (range, 32-76 years). There were 8 cases of tongue cancer, 5 cases of parotid gland cancer, 4 cases of buccal cancer, and 3 cases of mandibular gingival cancer; and 12 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 3 cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma, and 5 cases of mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) and IRT technique were performed before operation to locate the peroneal artery perforator and assist in the design of the flap. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of CDU and IRT technique were compared with the actual exploration during operation. The accuracy of CDU and IRT technique in detecting the number of peroneal artery perforator and the most viable perforating points was compared. The patients were followed up regularly to observe the recovery of donor and recipient sites, the occurrence of complications, and the recurrence and metastasis of tumors. Results: The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of peroneal artery perforators detected by IRT technique before operation were 72.22%, 50.00%, 92.86%, and 16.67% respectively, which were higher than those by CDU (64.17%, 33.33%, 84.62%, and 14.29% respectively). Forty-five peroneal artery perforators were found by CDU before operation, and 35 were confirmed during operation, with an accuracy rate of 77.8%; 43 "hot spots" were found by IRT technique, and 32 peroneal artery perforators were confirmed within the "hot spots" range during operation, with an accuracy rate of 74.4%; there was no significant difference between the two methods ( Conclusion: Compared with the CDU, using the IRT technique to assist the preoperative peroneal artery perforator flap design to repair the oral and maxillofacial defects has a high clinical application value.
