Approach for Mandibular Reconstruction Using Vascularized Free Fibula Flap: A Review of the Literature.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Mandible reconstruction is one of the major challenges that face any maxillofacial surgeon worldwide. Different approaches and methods are used for mandible reconstruction, including pedicle flaps, titanium reconstruction plates, and bone grafts. A free fibular flap is used commonly and is considered the gold standard in mandibular reconstruction with a good success rate. Advantages of the free fibula flap include the long pedicle, flexible skin island, good length of dense cortical bone, consistent bone shape, minimal donor site morbidity, superior union rate, anti-collapse effectiveness, segmental blood supply, the potential for two skin paddles, and ease of harvest with a flap survival rate up to 95%. This current review aims to illustrate the approach for mandibular reconstruction using a vascularized free fibula flap.
