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 authors illustrate a unique case of total nasal reconstruction that successfully combined historical reconstructive techniques with modern microsurgery, supported by artificial intelligence-assisted operative planning. The patient presented with multiple failed nasal reconstructions, previously performed at different surgical units, aimed to correct congenital nasal dysplasia due to Binder syndrome. In this case, a prelaminated radial forearm free flap was used for the nasal lining, a costal cartilage tripod for structural support, and a delayed forehead flap for external coverage. To reconstruct the nasal septum and ensure an anatomically aligned airway, the authors employed a vascularised corticocancellous free flap from the medial femoral condyle. Fourteen months postoperatively, the patient had a well-healed, mucosalised airway and an improved nasal structure.
