Flow-Through Radial Artery Forearm Flap for Tongue Revascularization After Excision of Base of Tongue Malignancies.
Article in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 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
Tongue cancers are common in the spectrum of oral malignancies. In base of tongue cancers, tumour excision might lead to injury of ipsilateral or both lingual arteries, leading to ischemia of residual, native tongue. Free radial artery forearm flap is commonly used for tongue reconstruction. It can also be used as a flow-through flap for the reconstruction of the tongue defect as well as to revascularise the cancer-free tongue remnant. We report here two cases of base of tongue excision for which free flow-through radial forearm flap was used to reconstruct the tongue defect as well as salvage the remaining part of ischemic tongue. This technique can be effectively considered in selected cases of vascular compromise due to lingual vessel sacrifice to preserve the cancer-free anterior native tongue tissue with improved functional outcomes.
