Reconstruction of Scalp and Forehead Defects: Options and Strategies.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 Aesthetic reconstruction of scalp and forehead defects with local flaps and minimal donor site morbidity is the primary goal of coverage. While selecting the coverage technique, essential factors such as size, location, and components of a defect, hair-bearing or non-hair-bearing nature of skin, status of the exposed skull, need for radiation, patient condition, availability of local tissue, and the potential for hairline distortion should be kept in mind. Materials and methods This is a retrospective analysis in which 54 patients who underwent soft tissue reconstruction of the scalp and forehead defects were included. The defect size was categorized into four groups: small: <4 cm
