Pedicled transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap removal after 21 years: a case report.
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
Despite the widespread use of free abdominal based flaps for autologous breast reconstruction, the pedicled transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (p-TRAM) flap remains a popular alternative. Although the p-TRAM flap has been commonly utilized since the 90s, there is a paucity of information on the long-term changes that occur in the p-TRAM flap with the passage of time. Imaging studies have demonstrated changes in muscle volumes and fatty attenuation of myocutaneous flaps over time. However, the use of a histopathological approach in analysing the changes in a myocutaneous flap is rarely done as rarely do patients undergo a removal of a healthy flap. Our report seeks to show the loss of the muscle volume over time through a histopathological approach in a patient who underwent p-TRAM Flap removal after 21 years.
