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

Resection of advanced oral malignancies often leads to extensive composite tissue defects, which may involve skin, oral mucosa, mandible, and a significant amount of soft tissue. While the free fibula flap remains the primary choice of reconstruction, there are instances where a second flap is necessary for coverage. In such cases, the anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap is commonly employed as a second free flap. We recently utilized a superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap in combination with the free fibula flap to reconstruct a large oromandibular defect. This report emphasizes the significance of the SCIP flap and the benefits of combining free flaps, supported by relevant literature.
