Single-center 10-year experience in the management of anterior abdominal wall defects.

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
backgroundAnterior abdominal wall defects can be managed with various techniques, since no one technique can be applied to all types of defects. The aim of this study is to present a single-center experience using biomaterials and evaluate the outcomes.
methodsThe clinical data obtained from 33 neonates (24 gastroschisis and 9 omphaloceles) managed for anterior abdominal wall defects at a single center from 1995 until 2005 were evaluated.
resultsPrimary skin closure of the defect was possible in 22 (67%) cases; however, 4 of 22 (12%) required an inner patch. In seven (21%), two patches were employed. The grafts used were: seven (22%) Goretex, four (12%) dura and one (3%) bovine pericard.
conclusionIn our single-center experience, both synthetic (Goretex patches) and natural biomaterials (dura and bovine patches) were found to be alternatives to manage these defects. The advantages and disadvantages of the alternatives are presented.
