Operative treatment of ventral hernia using prosthetic materials.
Article 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. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveThe objective of this study was to summarize the clinical experiences in repairing abdominal incisional hernia with prosthetic materials.
methodsEighty-three patients with ventral hernia were analyzed retrospectively.
resultsTwo patients developed pulmonary infection, one developed adhesive ileus, and five developed wound infection. All wounds healed completely during follow-up. Seventy-three (88%) patients were free of pain, and ten patients (12%) felt pain in the operated area within the last month; only one patient required pain-relieving drugs. Twenty-nine patients (35%) felt discomfort, such as stiffness. Four cases experienced postoperative recurrence.
conclusionsIncisional herniorrhaphy with prosthetic materials is safe and effective but has a high discomfort rate. Open giant incisional hernia or recurrent incisional hernia should be performed by trained surgeons. Placing mesh in a suitable position and using a patch with minimal reaction and enough tensile strength may improve the prognosis. Further studies are necessary utilizing light polypropylene mesh.
