Management of complicated umbilical hernias in cirrhotic patients using permanent mesh: randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02787772 (Abdominal Hernia in Cirrhotic Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 33 papers, 5 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
purposeThe optimal management of complicated umbilical hernia in patients with liver cirrhosis is still undefined. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of polypropylene mesh to treat complicated umbilical hernia in cirrhotic patients.
methodsIn the period from January 2005 to May 2008, 80 patients with complicated umbilical hernia combined with liver cirrhosis underwent hernia repair. The patients were randomly divided into two groups; each group consisted of 40 patients. Hernia repair was carried out by conventional fascial repair in group I and by mesh hernioplasty in group II.
resultsThe male/female ratio, Child-Pugh class, and mode of hernia complication were almost matched in both groups. Hernia recurrence was significantly less in the mesh hernioplasty group. No mesh exposure or fistulae were experienced. There was no need to remove any of the meshes.
conclusionsPermanent mesh can be used in complicated hernias in cirrhotic patients with minimal wound-related morbidity and a significantly lower rate of recurrence.
