Basal Cell Carcinoma of the Right Lower Eyelid Treated With Tarsoconjunctival and Mustardé Flaps.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
An 82-year-old female patient presented with noduloulcerative basal cell carcinoma (BCC) on the right lower eyelid, extending laterally. Following full-thickness excision of the carcinoma with clear margins, a tarsoconjunctival flap was placed over the posterior lamella to create support and lining. A Mustardé flap was used for anterior lamella repair, and a rotating cheek flap was used to recreate the natural shape and function of the eyelid. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with excellent flap viability and minimal complications. At follow-up, the patient demonstrated well-aligned eyelid function, good aesthetic outcomes, and histopathological confirmation of complete tumor excision. Hughes and Mustardé flaps combined in a single-step procedure offer a reliable and effective solution for managing extensive full-thickness eyelid defects post-BCC excision, as it maintains eyelid integrity, minimizes morbidity, and achieves favorable cosmetic and functional outcomes, serving as an invaluable approach in complex periocular reconstructions.
