Simple Evaluation Method of Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery and its Perforators Using a Three-Dimensional Computer Graphics Software Viewtify.

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
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and simplicity of a preoperative vascular assessment method with Viewtify Methods: To evaluate the accuracy and simplicity of this new method, we compared it with an existing reliable method based on the same contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images. The evaluation included the deviation of the deep inferior epigastric artery (DIEA) course and the position of the perforators, as well as the time required for evaluation. CT images were acquired from 20 female patients who underwent DIEA perforator flap reconstruction. A third-year plastic surgery resident, new to flaps and the software, was the candidate for this new method and hand-drew a schematic diagram from three-dimensional computer graphics (3DCG) images reconstructed with Viewtify Results: The average age and body mass index (BMI) of patients were 48.1 ± 7.5 years and 24.2 ± 3.3 kg/m Conclusions: Viewtify
