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

Intraoral hair growth following flap reconstruction for oral cancer surgery is a common but often overlooked complication. This case series presents two patients who developed iatrogenic intraoral hair after nasolabial flap reconstructions, resulting in mucosal irritation, difficulty maintaining oral hygiene, and emotional distress. Laser hair removal was not feasible due to technical limitations in the oral cavity. Instead, electrolysis was successfully employed as a permanent hair removal method. Both patients showed improvement after treatment, with one requiring a second session due to slight recurrence. Electrolysis is a practical and effective alternative to laser therapy for managing intraoral hair growth, particularly in cases where laser treatments are challenging.
