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
Herein, we present our experience using a single-stage peninsular-shaped lateral tongue flap (pLTF) to cover various intraoral defects and confirm the versatile utility and effective application of pLTF in intraoral defect reconstruction. This study included eight cases (six males and two females; average age 60.3 ± 16.9 years) of intraoral defect reconstruction performed by a single surgeon between August 2020 and May 2023 using the single-stage pLTF technique. Electronic medical records and photographs of the patients were collected and analyzed. The functional intraoral Glasgow scale (FIGS) was used to evaluate preoperative and postoperative tongue function. Defect sizes ranged from 3 cm × 3 cm to 4 cm × 6 cm. Notably, all defects were successfully covered with pLTFs, and the flap sizes ranged between 3 cm × 4.5 cm and 4.5 cm × 7.5 cm. The flaps completely survived without any postoperative complications. At follow-up (average, 9.87 ± 2.74 months), no patient had tumor recurrence or significant tongue functional deficits. The mean preoperative and postoperative FIGS were 14.75 ± 0.46 and 14.00 ± 0.92, respectively (
