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 complete reconstruction of a nose with good function and inconspicuous appearance is a very demanding task. This article outlines the current state of the art, which has evolved with increasing demands on esthetics. Skin expansion enables sufficient hairless skin to be obtained and minimizes harvesting defects. The increased use of radial forearm flaps enables good results even with larger defects. An additional intermediate step before dividing the pedicle helps to optimize the function and appearance. The basic principles remain unchanged: reconstruction in three layers with a framework made of autologous rib cartilage and a skin layer that covers the entire esthetic unit of the nose with a forehead flap. Nowadays, a complete reconstruction usually involves 5 procedures within about 8 months. A case study illustrates the central aspects of neorhinoplasty in all steps. Complications and unplanned revisions form the conclusion.
