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

Traumatic lip amputation is a devastating injury. No other tissue replicates its unique histology, often limiting the reconstructive outcome. Replantation is a technically challenging procedure, requiring extensive postoperative optimization, including systemic anticoagulation, leech therapy, significant blood loss, and antibiosis. Given the rarity of replantation in the context of pregnancy, there are no documented accounts of lip replantation in pregnant patients. We report a case of a 25-year-old pregnant woman who sustained an avulsion injury of the right upper lip from a dog bite. The patient presented with the amputated lip and emergent microvascular replantation was performed. Postoperative course consisted of management of controlled yet significant blood loss through leech therapy and close collaboration with obstetric colleagues. The patient was ultimately discharged with successful cosmetic and functional outcome and, importantly, with maintenance of a healthy pregnancy.
