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

Rhinoplasty is one of the most performed procedures by plastic surgeons worldwide, for both functional and cosmetic indications. The demand for aesthetic rhinoplasty in India has been on the rise over the past decade. Despite this rise in demand, rhinoplasty is still considered one of the most technically demanding procedures in plastic surgery. Complications following rhinoplasty are reported to be 4 to 18.8%, with dorsal skin necrosis being a rare complication that occurs in less than 1% cases. Out of a total of 244 rhinoplasties performed by a single surgeon at our institution, 2 cases of dorsal skin necrosis were encountered (0.8%). Currently, there is no literature describing dorsal skin necrosis following rhinoplasty among the Indian population. We present two patients who experienced dorsal nasal skin necrosis following open rhinoplasty while on topical 0.05% tretinoin treatment and highlight our management approach.
