Vascularized tissue coverage of trauma and acute care surgery defects with ovine forestomach matrix: interim results of a prospective multicenter study.
Article in Journal of trauma and injury, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeTraumatic soft tissue defects present challenges due to their diverse presentations. This variability necessitates tailored approaches for effective management, requiring advanced reconstruction strategies to achieve rapid coverage and tissue infill while minimizing complications. The study aimed to evaluate the safety of ovine forestomach matrix (OFM) grafts in traumatic defects from four level I trauma centers.
methodsThis prospective observational study used a multicenter registry to collect deidentified data from adult trauma/acute care surgery patients who received OFM-based grafts for soft tissue repair from August 2022 through September 2024. After the application of OFM grafts, defects were regularly assessed for the development of vascularized tissue coverage and/or fill, and ultimately epithelialization.
resultsDuring the study, 49 participants with 61 soft tissue defects underwent procedures with OFM-based grafts. The mean participant age was 58.8±17.7 years. Most defects (55.7%) resulted from traumatic injuries, with additional etiologies including necrotizing soft tissue infections (13.1%), enterocutaneous fistulas (4.9%), acute pressure injuries (stages III and IV, 6.6%), surgical dehiscence (4.9%), amputations (3.3%), and hematoma evacuation (3.3%). All defects achieved vascularized tissue coverage within a median of 22.5 days (interquartile range, 13.3-33.5 days) after a median of one product application (interquartile range, 1-1). Four cases of superficial infection were reported, all resolving without major complications.
conclusionsOFM-based grafts showed promising results in tissue regeneration for trauma and acute care defects, with minimal postoperative complications. These results are interim findings from an ongoing prospective multicenter registry study evaluating the safety and efficacy of OFM-based grafts in various surgical applications.
