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

Tumours involving the bones of maxillofacial region requires elaborate surgical skills and experience for managing the complexity. Treatment planning majorly depends on the extent of bone involvement, type of erosion and involvement of para mandibular soft tissue. Pertaining to mandible in this paper, marginal and segmental mandibulectomies are the predominant options which are oncologically safe practices done by surgeons. Here we report a case of a patient, who was treated with technique of reverse marginal mandibulectomy. He had a unique presentation of tumour abutting the lower border of mandible with the erosion limited to the outer cortex along with a huge extra nodal growth. This sparsely used technique was performed post neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by microvascular reconstruction. We intend to draw attention to this hermetic technique as an oncological safe and reliable alternative for a specific group of patients.
