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

Key Clinical Message: Lower red lip reconstruction using a mucosal perforator flap is low-invasive and adheres to the concept of "like with like." The location of the mucosal perforator can easily be detected using color Doppler ultrasound. Abstract: Lip reconstructions should provide results of a high degree regarding both functionality and esthetics. We describe a case of lower red lip reconstruction using a mucosal perforator. An 81-year-old man complained of repeated bleeding from a submucosal venous malformation on his lower red lip, and surgery was performed under local anesthesia. The venous malformation was completely resected. A 4 cm × 2 cm triangle-shaped flap containing a mucosal perforator, identified using color Doppler ultrasound preoperatively, was designed in the lower red lip adjacent to the defect. The perforator flap was raised in the submucosal layer, and the defect was covered with the flap in an advancement manner. The flap transfer-related defect was closed, and at the one-year follow-up examination, no recurrence, drooling, or speech impediment was observed. In this case, excellent functional and esthetic results were achieved following the low-invasive reconstruction using a mucosal perforator flap.
