1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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/

aimAngiosarcomas of the face are rare but present significant treatment challenges due to their origin in the supportive tissues of blood or lymphatic vessels. Achieving optimal balance between oncological efficacy and aesthetic outcomes requires a multidisciplinary approach, particularly in cases where radical R0 resection is necessary. Delays often occur, especially during histopathological examinations, which can complicate primary plastic reconstruction before definitive pathological findings. CASE REPORT: To address this issue, we present a case with the use of porcine-derived acellular dermal matrix for temporary soft tissue coverage as a viable option in a case of angiosarcoma of the face. This is particularly useful in situations where frozen sections risk the loss of critical anatomical structures and intraoperative diagnosis is not feasible. This approach allowed for satisfactory wound coverage and granulation during diagnostic phases, paving the way for oncologically manageable situations and functional rehabilitation.

conclusionTemporary soft tissue coverage with porcine-derived acellular dermal matrix is a valuable option in tumor surgery of rare and complex situations.
