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

Lip reconstruction is challenging for plastic surgeons due to the unique functionality and aesthetic complexity of the lips within the lower third of the face. The etiology of lip defects varies from congenital to acquired causes of origin. The most common acquired cause of lip defects is resection of malignancy. Defects can present as various shapes and sizes and may affect any location on the lip. Each defect requires a full workup, and algorithms such as the rule of thirds, are commonly used to swiftly identify optimal reconstructive options. The goal of lip reconstruction is to ensure oral competence while restoring intricate, cutaneous landmarks. The approach to lip reconstruction makes use of many rungs of the reconstructive ladder. This article primarily focuses on repairing lip defects secondary to Mohs surgery; however, the reconstructive methods discussed are useful for lip defects of all causes. This article will review lip defect evaluation, reconstructive methods, common complications, and adjuvant therapies to ensure optimal lip function and cosmesis.
