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
purposeThe aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of sutureless incisional open hernia repair with mesh fixation only using a fibrin glue sealant.
methodsFrom 2002 to 2007, 40 patients underwent surgical recurrent incisional hernia repair, consisting of a sutureless positioning of a retromuscolar-preperitoneal polypropylene stiff mesh, fixed only with 2 ml of human fibrin glue.
resultsThe average hospitalization period was 3 days; postoperative complications occurred in seven patients: wound infection in four patients and hematoma in three patients. Seroma was not observed. Postoperative pain occurred in two patients, while chronic pain occurred in one patient; the remaining 37 patients were pain-free.
conclusionsThe use of an open retromuscolar mesh is an easy, inexpensive and relatively safe method to repair large incisional hernias. In our study the use of fibrin glue sealant demonstrated a low incidence of postoperative pain and short hospitalization.
