Nasal Rehabilitation in a Patient After Basal Cell Carcinoma and Radiotherapy: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. 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
Nasal rehabilitation following basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and radiotherapy presents significant challenges due to the intricate balance between aesthetic and functional restoration. This case report discusses the rehabilitation of a 73-year-old male who underwent surgical excision and radiotherapy for BCC located on the left ala of the nose. Post-treatment, the patient experienced dissatisfaction with his facial appearance, negatively impacting his quality of life. This study highlights the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in achieving optimal outcomes through prosthetic reconstruction. The process involved careful surgical removal of residual tissue, followed by detailed impression-taking, modeling, and fabrication of a custom nasal prosthesis. Key considerations included anatomical accuracy, symmetry, and color matching to ensure a natural appearance. Emphasis was placed on patient-centered care, addressing both physical and psychological aspects. Despite achieving satisfactory results, limitations such as the absence of long-term follow-up data were noted. Future research should focus on long-term prosthesis performance and patient-reported outcomes to enhance rehabilitation strategies. This case underscores the importance of an integrated approach combining surgical precision, prosthodontic expertise, and psychological support to improve patient satisfaction and quality of life following nasal rehabilitation post-BCC and radiotherapy.
