Versatility of Naso-labial Flap in Reconstruction of Facial Defects.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Reconstruction of facial defects is often challenging and is dependent on numerous factors including size of the defect, availability of donor site, any existing scar, patient's consent, prognosis, etc. There are various reconstruction modalities highlighted in the literature with their inherent merits and demerits. Considering the versatility of nasolabial flap, we present a case series of different facial defects where nasolabial flap has been used successfully for reconstruction. Case Reports: Three patients with different disease process in three different areas of face were reported. All underwent wide local excision and reconstruction with nasolabial flap. The result obtained was esthetically pleasing with minimal donor site morbidity. Conclusion: Nasolabial flap is a versatile flap and can be effectively used for reconstruction of small to moderate facial defects over any other flaps.
