Posterior Hypopharyngeal/Upper Esophageal Wall Reconstruction Using a Double-Island Free Fasciocutaneous Anterolateral Thigh Flap: A Case Report and Scoping Review of the Literature.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 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
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Human studies describing defect coverage of the posterior hypopharyngeal/upper esophagus wall were included. SOURCES OF EVIDENCE: A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar, following PRISMAScR guidelines. CHARTING
methodsData on surgical techniques, outcomes, and complications were extracted and analyzed by two independent reviewers. CASE REPORT: A 57-year-old female developed a chronic posterior wall perforation following Zenker's diverticulum treatment and C5/6 cage osteosynthesis. Reconstruction was performed using a free fasciocutaneous ALT flap with two skin paddles: one (2 × 2 cm) for the esophageal mucosa and an additional vascularized fascia layer (4 × 8 cm) to separate the cage from the hypopharyngeal defect. To enable flap monitoring in the otherwise hidden defect, a second skin island was externalized cervically.
