Hydrocolloid Dressing for the Management of Flap Necrosis Following Cancer Reconstructive Surgery: 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
Resection and reconstruction following cancer surgery may sometimes result in healing complications such as flap necrosis. Early management is important to prevent progression to total flap loss. We present a case of flap necrosis in a patient who underwent hemimandibulectomy and reconstruction with a pectoralis major myocutaneous (PMMC) flap following resection of carcinoma of the floor of the mouth. The patient was managed conservatively with early wound debridement and hydrocolloid dressing, which allowed the flap to heal by secondary intention without further compromise. This case highlights the importance of prompt intervention in flap necrosis following cancer reconstructive surgery.
