Reconstruction of tracheal defect using a sternocleidomastoid myoperiosteal flap in a patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma invading the trachea: a case report.

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
Tracheal defects that occur after resection can be reconstructed in various ways. Depending on the depth of the tumor invasion or the circumference of the trachea defect, options such as local flaps, free flaps, or primary closure can be used. We report a case of reconstruction using a sternocleidomastoid myoperiosteal flap for partial tracheal defect following tumor resection. A 77-year-old woman was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer with tracheal invasion. The patient underwent total thyroidectomy and partial tracheal resection. The resulting partial tracheal defect was reconstructed with a sternocleidomastoid myoperiosteal flap. The flap was elevated including the periosteum of the sternal head and the clavicular head of the sternocleidomastoid, and was inset into the tracheal defect. No complications were observed. At 3 months after operation, the patient reported no discomfort, laryngoscope and neck computed tomography examinations revealed no abnormal findings.
