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

A single immediate reconstruction with free tissue transfer is the method of choice after major head and neck cancer (HNC) resection, but this is frequently associated with long operating hours. Considering regulatory working hour constraints, we investigated whether a two-staged reconstructive approach with temporary defect coverage by an artificial tissue substitute would be feasible. HNC patients underwent either immediate or delayed reconstruction after tumor resection. Patients with delayed reconstruction received preliminary reconstruction with an artificial tissue substitute followed by definitive microvascular reconstruction in a separate, second procedure. Of the 33 HNC patients, 13 received delayed reconstruction and 20 received immediate reconstruction. Total anesthesia time (714 vs. 1011 min;
