Modified Mustardé Flap for Lower Eyelid Reconstruction in Basal Cell Carcinoma: Revisited.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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: Full thickness defects of lower eyelid, following oncological resection, often pose a formidable challenge to the operating surgeon. Although a plethora of reconstructive options have been tried, the Mustardé flap has stood the test of time. Methods: Our patient, a 57-year old lady, diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma of the left lower eyelid underwent full-thickness wide local excision and reconstruction using modified Mustardé flap. The anterior part of defect was reconstructed using the flap. The posterior part was reconstructed using septal mucoperichondrial-cartilage composite graft, sutured to remnant palpebral conjunctiva. Results: The patient had an uneventful post-operative period. On serial follow-up, the patient had an acceptable scar. At 6 months follow-up, the facial scar was barely perceptible with normal lower lid disposition. Conclusion: The modified Mustardé flap is a simple and reliable reconstructive option for full-thickness lower eyelid defects following oncological resection in carefully selected cases.
