Laparoscopic harvest and free transplantation of great omentum flap for extensive tissue defects in complex wounds.
Article in JPRAS open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Introduction: The repair of extensive tissue defects remains a challenge, although great progress has been made in reconstructive surgery. The transplantation of a single huge flap or several flaps in combination will inevitably result in donor-site morbidity. Here we report our experience in the repair of these wounds with laparoscopically harvested great omentum flaps. Methods: Twelve patients with extensive tissue defects caused by deep burn injury, avulsion injury, and open fracture underwent free omental flap transplantation and split-thickness skin grafting. The patient demographics, wound characteristics, and complications postsurgical operation were recorded. Prior to omentum flap transplantation, these patients underwent debridement, vacuum sealing drainage treatment, and/or fixation of fractures. All omentum flaps harvested using laparoscopic technique were anastomosed to recipient vessels, and split-thickness skin grafting was performed 14 days after omental flap transplantation. Results: The mean defect size was 471 cm Conclusion: For the reconstruction of extensive tissue defects in complex wounds, the free transfer of an omental flap may be an ideal option because of its well-vascularized and pliable tissue with reliable vascular anatomy, as well as minimized donor-site morbidity.
