Septocolumellar strut technique: Tip stability and aesthetic outcomes in rhinoplasty.
Article in JPRAS open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: The septocolumellar strut (SCS) technique has been proposed as an additional support element to enhance tip stability when used alongside a traditional columellar strut in open rhinoplasty. Evidence on its early and long-term effects remains limited. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 40 patients (mean age 34.1 years; 80% female) who underwent open rhinoplasty with combined SCS and columellar strut placement. Outcomes assessed at postoperative 3 and 12 months included Goode's ratio, nasal length, tip rotation (nasolabial angle), and tip projection. Results: Significant improvements were observed at both 3 and 12 months in Goode's ratio (0.59→0.61→0.61, Conclusions: The combined SCS-columellar strut technique yields durable aesthetic and structural outcomes in open rhinoplasty. Gains in Goode's ratio, nasal length, and tip rotation are well maintained over 12 months, with tip projection remaining preserved.
