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

In the field of mandibular reconstruction, multiple treatment options and surgical approaches are available. Most techniques require extensive incisions across the face and neck to visualize, resect and reconstruct large mandibular defects. These approaches are associated with greater aesthetic compromise and an increased risk of injury to neurovascular structures. The aim of the present study is to introduce alternative facial approaches using tunneled dissection techniques, which allow for the resection and reconstruction of extensive mandibular defects involving the body, ramus, and temporomandibular joint.
