Saddle Nose Deformity Reconstruction with a Allograft Bone.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveProviding lasting cosmetic and functional results for patients with saddle nose deformity with allograft.
methodsThis report describes experience with using a of freeze-dried allograft bone allograft in 58 patients who underwent dorsal augmentation over 5-year period (2018-2023). Thirty-eight patients had saddle-shaped deformity of the nose, and 16 patients had post-traumatic cases with saddle nose deformities. All patients underwent a clinical examination using computed tomography. Before surgery using a 3D model, the graft was contoured according to the shape of the nasal defect. The grafts were installed using a closed approach and were placed under the periosteum of the bone. Using lateral photographs, anthropometric measurements of the nose were taken before and after surgery to assess aesthetic outcome after surgery. To assess the results of aesthetic rhinoplasty (UQ), the Portuguese version of the Utrecht Questionnaire was used, which contains a visual analogue scale (VAS) on a 5-point Likert scale.
resultsA total of 56 patients were satisfied with the results of the surgical procedure. No complications or major graft resorption was observed. An analysis comparing preoperative and 1-year follow-up data using 3D scanning showed a significant increase in dorsal height without dorsal expansion. After rhinoplasty, the mean visual analog scale (VAS) aesthetic score improved significant from 2.3 preoperatively, 3 months postoperatively 8.4, and 8.9 1 year postoperatively.
conclusionThe use of freeze-dried allograft bone is a useful method of dorsal augmentation in rhinoplasty without donor site complications.
