The Use of Oxygen Therapy in Management of Mastectomy Flap Ischemia.

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
Oxygen plays a major role in wound healing by improving vessel growth and facilitating wound closure. Topical oxygen therapy has been widely accepted as a treatment for diabetic foot ulcers, but its benefit in compromised flaps and grafts in the field of plastic surgery has gained traction. It is possible to decrease flap necrosis and increase viability with topical oxygen therapy. We present a case of a 48-year-old woman who received topical oxygen therapy to treat postmastectomy areas of skin necrosis. As the patient underwent treatment using topical oxygen therapy to the mastectomy flaps, skin demarcation of bilateral breasts continued to improve and eventually completely resolved. This case demonstrated the significant ability of topical oxygen therapy to promote wound healing in flap ischemia.
