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

Objective: Radiation therapy to treat hemangiomas is an old method that is no longer used due to its severe side effects. However, in Vietnam, radiotherapy has long been used to treat infantile hemangiomas, which has led to severe sequelae in adulthood. This article shares our experience in reconstructing the sequelae of radiation therapy for facial hemangioma using free anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap. Materials and methods: Six patients underwent facial lesion reconstruction using different ALT flaps, including volume augmentation, fascial, and thinning flaps. Results: The largest flap used was 20 × 8 cm Conclusion: The ALT flap has several advantages, including flexibility in use, diversity in flap components, and minimal impact on the donor site, making it increasingly popular and effective.
