Pedicled Radial Forearm Flap in Reconstruction of Complex Defects in the Craniofacial Region.
Article in Journal of the West African College of Surgeons. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The radial forearm flap is a fasciocutaneous flap that has been used for reconstructing defects in the craniofacial region, either as a free flap or a pedicled flap. The pedicled radial forearm flap is a reliable option for reconstructing scalp defects. Microvascular free tissue transfer has, however, remained the preferred choice in the reconstruction of most complex scalp defects in the craniofacial region. We present the cases of a 37-year-old woman with an ulcerated malignant lesion on the forehead and a 40-year-old woman with a large malignant tumor on the scalp. Excision of both lesions, which turned out to be squamous cell carcinomas, resulted in complex defects that were reconstructed with pedicled radial forearm flaps. Both patients had satisfactory results and were counseled for radiotherapy.
