Autologous, free omentum grafts for large, open, distal limb wounds in dogs: Technique and outcome in 10 dogs.
Article in Veterinary surgery : VS, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
objectiveTo describe the operative technique and outcome of free autologous omentum grafting (OG) for wound reconstruction on the distal limbs of dogs. STUDY
designRetrospective case series. ANIMALS: A total of 10 client-owned dogs.
methodsMedical records (2010-2023) were searched for dogs with open limb wounds distal to the stifle or elbow treated with OG for wound reconstruction. OG was harvested via celiotomy, then sutured to the wound bed and 0.4-1 cm subcutaneous tissue beneath surrounding dermis. Wounds were bandaged using a petroleum-coated primary layer to prevent graft desiccation for 1-2 weeks. Using ImageJ software, wound area and final unhaired scar area were analyzed and time to epithelialization, major and minor complications, and length of follow up were determined.
resultsDogs with a mean age of 6.9 ± 4.2 years were identified with wounds (n = 13 wounds) measuring 25.96 ± 16.27 cm
conclusionOG may provide an alternative method for management of distal limb wounds in dogs, with minimal complications, excellent cosmesis and functional outcomes in 10 dogs. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Free OG may offer an alternative method of wound management in dogs; however, further research with controlled prospective studies is indicated before recommending the method over other treatment options.
