Eyelid reconstruction with radial free forearm flap: functional and esthetic outcomes.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Periorbital defects resulting from oncologic resections, trauma, or congenital malformations pose a complex reconstructive challenge, due to the need to simultaneously restore eyelid function and facial esthetics. We present the case of a male patient in his seventh decade of life with a right orbitomalar squamous cell carcinoma, who underwent a wide oncologic resection involving the upper and lower eyelids, as well as the malar and infraorbital regions. Reconstruction was performed using a radial free forearm flap from the left arm, including the palmaris longus tendon, which was strategically anchored to the medial canthus and orbital rim to provide dynamic eyelid support. This technique allowed for satisfactory anatomical and functional restoration. The microvascular radial forearm flap stands out for its thinness, pliability, and reliable vascularity, making it a suitable alternative to bulkier flaps such as the anterolateral thigh flap, particularly in the reconstruction of extensive and anatomically complex defects.
