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

objectiveTo evaluate the role of the vascularized nasoseptal flap (VNSF) and septal flip flap (SFF) in anterior skull base (ASB) reconstruction of craniofacial therapy by studying the radioanatomy of VNSF, SFF and ASB reconstruction data on adult Computed Tomography (CT) multiplanar reconstruction.

methodsThe length, width and area of VNSF, SFF, and ASB defects were measured by Computed Tomography CT in 40 adults, and then the above date were statistically analyzed to confirm whether VNSF and SFF can be used to cover the ASB defect region produced after surgery.

resultsThe area of VNSF far exceeded that of ASB defect (10.21 ± 1.97 cm

conclusionWith the assistance of SS packing and other methods, VNSF can transsphenoidally reconstruct the defect of the ASB, and SFF can reconstruct the defect of the ASB.
