Omentoplasty in Surgical Interventions: A Comprehensive Review of Techniques and Outcomes.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Omentoplasty, a surgical technique utilizing the omentum's unique properties, has become a pivotal intervention across various surgical fields. This comprehensive review explores the historical evolution, techniques, applications, outcomes, and complications associated with omentoplasty. With its rich vascular supply, lymphatic tissue, and remarkable immunological properties, the omentum has proven invaluable in enhancing wound healing, controlling infections, and providing mechanical support in complex surgical scenarios. The review delves into the anatomy and physiology of the omentum, elucidating its role in promoting angiogenesis and combating infections. Different omentoplasty techniques, including open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted approaches, are compared with regard to indications, procedural steps, and outcomes. The applications of omentoplasty span general surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, gynecologic surgery, and urologic surgery, highlighting its versatility and broad clinical relevance. Short-term and long-term outcomes of omentoplasty, including postoperative recovery, complication rates, recurrence rates, and quality of life, are thoroughly analyzed. The review addresses common and rare complications, emphasizing prevention and management strategies to optimize patient outcomes. Innovations in surgical techniques, the use of biomaterials, and the potential for synthetic or bioengineered omentum are discussed, underscoring the future directions and research opportunities in this field. By providing a detailed examination of omentoplasty, this review aims to enhance understanding, guide clinical practice, and inspire future research to further improve surgical outcomes and patient care.
