Mid-face Massive Loss Reconstruction: Free Latissimus Dorsi Used as Both a Donor and Recipient for Two Subsequent Temporoparietal Flaps.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
After a camel bite, a man lost much of his mid-face tissues, including right eye, nose, cheeks, upper lip, and palate. A free latissimus dorsi flap was used to simultaneously fill and cover the huge gap and to rebuild the new mouth roof. A few weeks later, it could also offer local hinged flaps working as raw beds to receive a converse scalping flap, and extended temporoparietal flaps were used for reconstruction of the nose and hairy upper lip, respectively. After 6 years, the face maintained height and width, and showed a marked sagittal shrinkage, obviously due to the absence of the vomero-maxillo-palatine skeletal axis. Despite this particular long-term inadequacy and flap insensitivity and inactivity, the new arrangement helped the patient to more easily socially integrate and to better eat, drink, and speak. This article highlights the consistency of free flaps to give and receive local and regional flaps.
