A Novel Technique to Wrap, Not Merely Cover, the Omental Flap Around the Infected Graft.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
Prosthetic vascular graft infection is a severe complication associated with aortic and root replacement. In such situations, use of the omental flap is a conventional surgical treatment option. However, the optimal surgical technique using the omental flap has not yet been fully established, especially in its application around an infected graft. Here, we present a case in which we successfully controlled an infection involving the thoracic aortic prosthetic graft of the aortic root and ascending aorta by wrapping the omentum around the graft and discuss this novel wrapping technique.
