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

Reconstruction of the nasal tip after the excision of the dermoid cyst is difficult, especially if the size of the dermoid is large. Tip reconstruction using Interdomal sutures of alar cartilages and auricular cartilage graft has been used in such cases. We share a new method to manage the nasal tip defect following excision of nasal dermoid, using an absorbable gelatin sponge. A 13 years old female presented with a swelling tip of the nose for the past 2 years. The CT scan revealed a dermoid cyst at the tip of the nose over the alar cartilage with prominent buckling of the cartilages. The Dermoid cyst was excised through an open rhinoplasty incision. There was a defect of 2.2 cm diameter at the tip of the nose with deformed alar cartilages. A piece of absorbable gelatin sponge was folded, cut according to the shape of the cavity, and used to fill the cavity. The skin was draped over the cartilage and gelatin sponge. The post-operative period was uneventful. After 2 years of follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic and satisfied with a nice contour of the nasal tip.
