Risk factors related to recurrence in inguinal hernia repair: a retrospective analysis.
Article in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 53 papers, 9 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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 aim of this study was to analyze and evaluate the long-term recurrence rate and risk factors for inguinal hernia recurrence in patients treated by the Shouldice suture repair. A total of 293 hernias treated by Shouldice suture technique in 1992 were studied retrospectively. After a 10-year follow-up, 15 potential risk factors for recurrence were assessed in 142 patients undergoing 171 Shouldice repairs. Recurrent hernias showed a significantly higher (22.0%) recurrence rate than primary inguinal hernias (7.7%). Furthermore, an age of more than 50 years, smoking, and the presence of two or more similarly affected relatives were found to be independent risk factors for recurrence. The present study underlines the importance of patient-related risk factors for the development of a recurrent inguinal hernia. Patients at risk should preoperatively be identified in order to improve treatment by, for example, the application of mesh techniques.
