Use of the omentum in the management of mesenteric contusions: a case report and review of the literature.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Closed abdominal trauma can result in severe mesenteric injury, potentially progressing to intestinal necrosis requiring resection. We report the case of a 24-year-old female patient, victim of a road traffic accident, with two mesenteric contusions: one responsible for intestinal necrosis requiring a double stoma, and the other located upstream, with preservation of a feeding vessel. An innovative technique was used to preserve this vascularization: a pedicled omental flap, still attached to the omental apron, was mobilized to cover and stabilize the mesenteric vessel. The omentum was fixed using resorbable sutures to ensure stabilization without compromising vascularization. The proximal location of the affected intestinal segment allowed for tension-free omental transposition. The post-operative outcome was favorable, with continuity restored two months later. This case highlights the importance of the role of the omentum in digestive reconstruction and vascular preservation, and proposes a reflection on its integration into standardized surgical protocols.
