Scalp Defect Reconstruction Using the Ying-Yang Double Rotation Flap: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Scalp reconstruction represents a surgical challenge due to the limited distensibility of tissues and the aesthetic importance of the hair-bearing unit. The ying-yang flap is a double rotation technique designed to optimize defect coverage without resorting to grafts, and the objective of this report is to demonstrate its versatility and efficacy in scalp reconstruction. We present the case of a male patient in his sixties with a lesion secondary to basal cell carcinoma measuring approximately 5 cm in diameter. Following resection, a deep circular defect with exposed pericranium was created. A ying-yang flap technique was performed to achieve a tension-free closure. The postoperative period was uneventful, with preservation of hair density and absence of vascular complications. In conclusion, the ying-yang flap is a versatile and reliable technique that minimizes tissue tension and offers superior aesthetic results in this anatomical region.
