The Correlation Between Body Mass Index and Computed Tomography Angiography on Vascular Positioning in Anterolateral Thigh Flap Transplantation.

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
Objective: This work aimed to investigate the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and computed tomography angiography (CTA) in the vascular positioning of anterolateral thigh perforator flap (ALT) and to discuss the influence of CTA on the vascular positioning of the ALT by taking BMI as a variable. Methods: A total of 117 patients who admitted to our hospital (Wuxi Ninth People's Hospital) from January 2017 to May 2019, hospitalized due to limb injury and needed ALT transplantation were collected in this work. According to the BMI, the patients were divided into group A (BMI < 18.5) with 18 cases, group B (18.5 ≤ BMI < 24) with 56 cases, and group C (BMI ≥ 24) with 43 cases. CTA was used to locate the perforator vessels in anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap of the three groups. All surgical and CTA data were collected. Results: There was a significant positive correlation between BMI and CTA positioning (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The larger the BMI, the more accurate the CTA positioning. When the BMI was not less than 18.5, CTA positioning should be the most accurate.
