Single-Stage Reconstruction with a Bilayer Artificial Dermal Regeneration Matrix for Nasal Skin Malignancies Defects in Middle-Aged and Elderly Asian Patients: Minimizing Scarring and Morbidity.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 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
backgroundNasal reconstruction in Asian patients is challenging given thicker skin, abundant sebaceous glands, and Fitzpatrick skin types III-V, which increase the risk of hypertrophic scarring and pigmentary alterations. Traditional flaps and grafts frequently result in donor-site morbidity, contour deformities, and color mismatch. Conversely, bilayer artificial dermal substitutes offer a potential alternative.
methodsThis retrospective study included eighteen middle-aged and elderly Chinese patients with nasal skin malignancies (0.5 × 0.5 to 2.3 × 2.6 cm) who underwent standard surgical excision followed by single-stage nasal reconstruction using a bilayer artificial dermis (Lando®). In all cases, intraoperative frozen-section analysis was routinely performed to confirm negative peripheral and deep margins prior to reconstruction. Postoperative management involved routine dressing changes until re-epithelialization. Follow-up was conducted for up to 2 years.
resultsAll defects healed within a mean of 32.67 ± 6.58 days, without requiring secondary grafting or encountering major complications. Minor complications included one superficial infection managed with increased frequency of local wound dressing changes (Clavien-Dindo grade I) and one case of mild hypertrophic scarring that required no additional intervention (Clavien-Dindo grade I). All patients achieved satisfactory wound healing with acceptable nasal contour, and no tumor recurrence was observed during follow-up.
conclusionSingle-stage reconstruction using a bilayer artificial dermal substitute is a simple, safe, and effective option for nasal defect repair in Asian patients. It avoids donor-site harvesting, simplifies postoperative management, and may help reduce overall treatment burden, offering a valuable alternative to traditional reconstructive techniques.
