Abdominal-based free flap reconstruction of the breast in a patient with prior cryolipolysis: a case report and literature review.
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
Abdominal-based flaps, including deep inferior epigastric artery perforator and transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flaps, are workhorse flaps for autologous breast reconstruction. These flaps are vascularized by perforators originating from the deep inferior epigastric vessels and traversing through the rectus abdominis muscle and subcutaneous tissue to supply the skin. As such, previous abdominal procedures, such as liposuction, may compromise flap perfusion and affect the choice of reconstruction. While there are numerous studies investigating the impact of liposuction on abdominal-based flaps, there is limited data on the implications of cryolipolysis, which is a relatively newer modality of non-invasive body contouring that is gaining increasing popularity. We describe a case of autologous breast reconstruction in a patient who had undergone cryolipolysis, where a free transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap was used as the perforators were too small for reliable perfusion of a deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap.
