Impact of umbilical fixation on perfusion in abdominoplasty: A hyperspectral imaging study.
Article in JPRAS open, 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
Background: Postoperative necrosis of the umbilicus is a rare yet serious complication in abdominoplasty. Fixation of the umbilicus to the fascia (umbilicopexy) is commonly used to enhance aesthetic outcomes, but concerns regarding potential compromise to perfusion remain unaddressed. This study investigates the impact of umbilicopexy on umbilical perfusion using hyperspectral imaging (HSI), a non-invasive method for assessing tissue oxygenation and perfusion. Methods: In this prospective study, 28 patients (25 female; mean age 42 years, range 24 to 60 years) undergoing abdominoplasty were assessed: 11 underwent umbilicopexy, while 17 served as controls. HSI parameters, including tissue oxygenation (StO Results: StO Conclusion: HSI proved valuable for real-time perfusion monitoring suggesting that Umbilicopexy is not adversely affecting umbilical perfusion or wound healing in abdominoplasty. Larger cohort studies with additional confounders are recommended to confirm these findings.
