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

Rhinophyma is a deforming disease that affects the nose mainly of Caucasian men. Progressive nasal skin thickening, telangiectasias, and hypertrophy of sebaceous appendages are frequently found in these patients. Many therapeutic modalities have been reported with good results. Among these, tangential excision is established as the surgical modality of choice. In advanced cases, it is not possible to distinguish nasal deformities resulting from rhinophyma from those resulting from malposition of the anatomic components that make up the nasal framework. We describe the use of a mixed technique in which the tangential excision and the open approach complement each other satisfactorily, restoring both shape and structure of the nose. This approach may represent a safe alternative for the simultaneous treatment of rhinophyma and a structured rhinoplasty, and further studies are needed for its full validation in clinical practice.
