Use of Superficial Temporal Vessels in Reconstructive Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery With Vascularized Free Flaps Among "Frozen Neck" Patients.

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
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using superficial temporal vessels as recipient vessels for vascularized free flap reconstruction in "frozen neck" patients following radiotherapy for head and neck cancer (HNC). Methods: Between February 2022 and November 2024, 16 patients underwent vascularized free flap reconstruction by using superficial temporal vessels at Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. Among them, anterolateral thigh flap (ALT, Results: All patients attained optimal surgical outcomes. During the mean follow-up period of 9 months, all flaps survived with absence of major procedure-related morbidity. Conclusion: Superficial temporal vessels offer a safe, reliable approach for vascularized free flap reconstruction in challenging "frozen neck" cases, providing an effective alternative in oral-maxillofacial reconstruction. Level of Evidence: 4.
