The greater omentum as a site for pancreatic islet transplantation.
Article in CellR4-- repair, replacement, regeneration, & reprogramming, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
The greater omentum is a highly vascularized anatomical structure in the peritoneal cavity. Its main components are connective, adipose and vascular cells, along with specialized immune cells. The omentum functions as a site for fat accumulation, it has adhesive properties to control traumatized and inflamed tissues, and a function in local hemostasis, immune responses, and revascularization. Other functions include the absorption of fluids, the phagocytosis of particulate matter, and foreign body reaction. The omentum is catalyzing significant interest for its potential as a site for pancreatic islet and cell transplantation. Our knowledge about this structure, its functions, and its potential as a site for transplantation is poised to grow in the coming years.
