Long-Term Volumetric Increase of a Free Omental Flap in Breast Reconstruction: A Case Report with a Focus on Body Weight Correlation.
Article in Journal of plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2026. 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
A 53-year-old woman underwent breast reconstruction using a free omental flap following the resection of a phyllodes tumor in the right breast. Postoperative volumetric analysis was retrospectively conducted over 5 years using computed tomography and three-dimensional imaging software. The omental flap demonstrated a 157% increase in volume compared with the immediate postoperative size. A positive correlation (r = 0.93) was observed between body weight and flap volume. Our report is just a single case; therefore, further studies are required to elucidate our hypothesis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to describe this association in an omental flap used for breast reconstruction. These findings may support appropriate surgical planning and postoperative follow-up in reconstructive breast surgery.
