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

Restoring the integrity of the calvaria due to diploic cavernous hemangioma removal possesses surgical complexity regarding the location of the tumor and the intricacy of the reconstruction method. We report a case of a 36-year-old male with a recurrent cavernous hemagioma, affecting the frontal bone. The patient had undergone surgical extirpation of the primary lesion six years ago in a different plastic surgery department with histological verification. He presented to our department with local recurrence at the same site. The lesion was completely resected, followed by calvarial reconstruction using autologous non-vascularized bone graft harvested from the iliac crest. Histology confirmed the recurrence of a benign cavernous hemangioma. Postoperative recovery was devoid of complications, and a follow-up CT scan after 6 months revealed no recurrence, with stable graft integration. A major insight of this manuscript includes the discussion of the benefits of using autologous bone in young patients instead of synthetic counterparts.
