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

The chondrocutaneous sandwich of the external ear has a delicate and complicated design, making partial ear reconstruction a challenging task for plastic surgeons. In this study, 12 patients who had surgery utilizing the conchal rotational flap and grafting approach were monitored for 1 year after surgery. The upper third of ear deformities have been repaired using a cartilaginous composite flap. Following the procedure, a year later, there were no signs of a seroma, infection, hematoma, deformity, or flap ischemia. All patients had pleasing cosmetic outcomes. The findings of this study suggest that full-thickness upper third auricular abnormalities be repaired utilizing this combination method.
