Omental flap after pelvic exenteration for pelvic cancer.
Article in Surgery today, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Pelvic infection is a significant clinical problem after pelvic exenteration. The clinical benefit of an omental flap in reducing the incidence of such infections is unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether an omental flap after pelvic exenteration reduces the incidence of pelvic infection and the length of postoperative hospital stay. In this study, we demonstrate a safe, effective, simple method for reducing the incidence of pelvic infection using an omental flap. We performed pelvic exenteration for tumors that were suspected to have extensive invasion to the bladder, prostate, or uterus. The omentum was dissected from the transverse colon and greater curvature of the stomach. The flap was based on the right gastroepiploic vessels and tunneled in the retrocolic plane, through the mesentery of the transverse colon and ileocecum, to the defect. Twenty-seven patients were analyzed retrospectively. Ten patients received omental flaps, and 17 patients underwent pelvic exenteration without an omental flap. The incidence of pelvic infection was significantly reduced in the patients with omental flaps.
