A single-surgeon randomized trial comparing three composite meshes on chronic pain after Lichtenstein hernia repair in local anesthesia.
Trial report in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01295437 (A Single-surgeon Randomized Study Comparing Three Composite Meshes on Chronic Pain After Lichtenstein Hernia Repair in Local Anesthesia), which is not on this map. Cited by 32 papers, 6 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.

Abstract
backgroundChronic pain may be a long-term problem related to operative trauma and mesh material in Lichtenstein hernioplasty. STUDY
designInguinal hernioplasty was performed under local anesthesia in 228 patients (232 hernias) in day-case surgery by the same surgeon and exactly by the same surgical technique. The patients were randomized to receive either a partly absorbable polypropylene-polyglactin mesh (Vypro II(R) 50 g/m(2), 79 hernias), a lightweight polypropylene mesh (Premilene Mesh LP(R) 55 g/m(2), 75 hernias) or a conventional densely woven polypropylene mesh (Premilene(R) 82 g/m(2), 78 hernias). Pain, patients discomfort and recurrences of hernias were carefully followed at days 1, 7, 1 month, 1 and 2 years after surgery.
resultsThe duration of operation (29-33 min) and the amount of local anesthetic (55-57 ml) were similar in the three groups. Two wound infections and four hematomas were detected with no difference between the meshes. Immediate pain reaction up to 1 month was statistically equal among the three meshes. After 2 years of follow-up, there were five recurrences (two in the Vypro group, one in the Premilene LP and two in the Premilene). A feeling of a foreign body, sensation of pain and patient's discomfort were similar with all meshes.
conclusionThere was no difference of pain and quality of life among a conventional polypropylene mesh, lightweight mesh or partly absorbable mesh in 2 years of follow-up, when the same surgeon operated on all patients with exactly the same technique.
