Secondary Intention Healing of Nasal Ala and Tip Defects: A Simple and Valuable Treatment Option.
Article in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Purpose: To investigate the cosmetic outcomes of secondary intention healing of small (<1.5cm) nasal ala and tip defects. Patients and Methods: From August 2017 to October 2020, 42 patients with nasal reconstructions using secondary intention healing were included. Defects after excision ranged from 0.5cm×0.7cm to 1.2cm×1.5cm in size. Foam dressing covering the wounds was changed every 3 to 5 days. Wound esthetic outcomes were graded as excellent, good, acceptable, and poor based on definitions described in the literature. Results: All 42 wounds healed in 3 to 4 weeks, with uniform color, no obvious adverse reactions and high patient satisfaction. Esthetic evaluation: 16 excellent cases (38.1%), 19 good cases (45.2%), 7 acceptable cases (16.7%) and 0 poor cases. Conclusion: Secondary intention healing of small nasal tip and ala defects in Chinese yielded satisfactory esthetic outcomes and should be an integral part of the surgeon's reconstructive algorithm.
