Correction of Short Nose Using M-shaped Cartilage in Asian Patients: Finite Element Analysis and Recommendations for Surgery.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundUsing M-shaped cartilage grafts is a new method for the correction of short nose deformity with good effect for Asians. Although the basic approach to M-shaped cartilage surgery is well understood, there is a great deal of uncertainty when plastic surgeons perform the procedure, and still a lack of standard guidance on the specific details.
methodsIn this study, the authors used finite element analysis to explore and compare postoperative cartilage stability of different fixing methods, different suturing positions, and different sizes of M-shaped cartilage. The authors applied a 0.01 N load to a 1 cm
resultsThe maximum deformation of the model was the least when the M-shaped cartilage was fixed medially to the septal cartilage and laterally to the outer crura of the lower lateral cartilage. At the same time, the maximum deformation was the least when the M-shaped cartilage was sutured to the middle of the nasal septal cartilage. Besides, the length of M-shaped cartilage was preferably around 30 mm, while its width was not worthy of being overly concerned.
conclusionsFor optimal postoperative stability of Asian short nose correction, the M-shaped cartilage should be sutured and fixed medially to the middle of the septal cartilage and laterally to the lateral crura of the lower lateral cartilage, and the length of the M-shaped cartilage should be controlled at around 30 mm.
