Current indications for the intrathoracic transposition of the omentum.
Review in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundThe intrathoracic transposition of the omentum (ITO) has been reported with more or less good results in various clinical circumstances but with no clear guidelines or indications. METHODOLOGY AND REVIEW: This article reviews the main clinical situations in which omento-plasty (OP) may be taken into consideration by the thoracic surgeons: mediastinitis and deep sternal infections after median sternotomy, reinforcement of the eso-gastric anastomosis after esophagectomy, prevention and treatment of the bronchial fistula after pulmonary resection, space-filling procedures for empyema, mediastinal tracheostomy, management of the infected intrathoracic vascular grafts / ventricular assist devices and heart OP. For each clinical situation we have performed a literature review with analysis of the most relevant published papers searching for an evidence-based approach for the use of the ITO/OP in thoracic surgery.
conclusionsOP may be an elegant solution for a wide range of problems in thoracic surgery. In the published literature, there are mainly case-reports and relatively small series published resulting in a low level of evidence for both ITO as a surgical technique by itself, as well as for the use of OP in various clinical situations involving the chest structures. The indications for its use in thoracic surgery are based more on common sense and the lack of other solutions.
