Successful Treatment of Delayed Partial Flap Loss in Autologous Breast Reconstruction With Rivaroxaban.
Article in Cureus, 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
Modern free flap breast reconstruction has high levels of success and patient satisfaction. When delayed microvascular complications do arise, corresponding salvage rates are low. Here, we present the case of a 72-year-old female who underwent uneventful right autologous breast reconstruction using profunda artery perforator (PAP) stacked flaps, whose course was complicated at postoperative day eight by partial superior flap congestion. Successful salvage of the superior PAP flap was achieved after three weeks of rivaroxaban treatment. To our knowledge, this case is the first in the literature to suggest the potential benefit of systemic anticoagulation in treating delayed partial flap congestion.
