Three-Stage Prelaminated Radial Forearm Flap for Total Auricular Reconstruction Following Scalp Avulsion Injury.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Loss of mastoid skin and temporoparietal fascia after complete scalp avulsion precludes conventional ear reconstruction. We report a total auricular reconstruction using a remote, prelaminated radial-forearm flap. A 42-year-old woman with prior scalp avulsion and right ear amputation underwent (1) 200-mL forearm expansion, (2) autogenous costal-cartilage framework insertion and maturation, and (3) free transfer to the mastoid area anastomosed to the preserved proximal superficial temporal vessels. At 6 months the neo-auricle showed symmetric contour, color match, and defined helix/anti-helix; the donor forearm retained full wrist motion. No infection, minimal exposure, or cartilage resorption occurred. Remote, prelaminated radial-forearm flap auricular reconstruction provides a reliable benchmark for ear restoration when all local options have been exhausted.
