Verification of Volume Similarity Between Unilateral Mammary Gland and Autologous Omentum in Adult Women by Measuring Cylinder Method.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 verify the volume similarity between unilateral mammary gland and autologous omentum in adult females.
methodsA total of 63 patients diagnosed with stage 0-II breast cancer and partial non-lactating multi-fistula mastitis in the breast surgery department of Inner Mongolia Xing'an League People's Hospital from 2007 to 2020 were enrolled in the study, including 52 cases of stage 0-II breast cancer and 11 cases of non-lactating multi-fistula mastitis. The volume of the resected mammary gland and the omentum were measured by a "soft tissue measuring cylinder" and recorded. The appearance of the reconstructed breast was compared with that of the healthy side. The correlation between unilateral mammary gland volume and autologous omentum volume was analyzed by linear regression.
resultsValid data were obtained for 60 cases. Affected breast size, curve, texture, nipple, and inframammary fold after omentum breast reconstruction were similar and symmetrical to those of the unaffected side. Postoperative complications occurred in most patients; the majority of these (76.67%) involved numbness of the nipple, and other complications were few. Patient satisfaction with postoperative appearance, feel, and movement of the breast, as well as total treatment costs, was over 75.0%. Linear regression analysis indicates a linear relationship between subcutaneous gland volume (x) and autologous omentum volume (y): y = 0.9847x - 1.2132,
conclusionOnly when the dissociated pedicled omentum is completely obtained under laparoscopy can the whole subcutaneous residual cavity of the mammary gland be filled to the same volume. This study verifies that the volume of the unilateral mammary gland is similar to that of the autologous omentum in adult females.
