1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) technique for the repair of incisional and parastomal hernias has increasingly gained popularity since its first description in 1993. The main advantage in comparison with the open approach is the reduced incidence of wound complications and the recurrence rate also seems to be lower. The laparoscopic technique is based on dissection of the complete abdominal wall. The whole original scar must be covered with a broad overlap of at least 5 cm. Structures like the falciform ligament and the ligamentum teres hepatis must be dissected and the prevesical space must be opened to allow adequate fixation and incorporation of the mesh. Meshes used for laparoscopic approaches must induce strong and rapid incorporation on the parietal side and they should also prevent adhesions on the visceral side. The material should allow an overlap of two or more meshes to treat major defects. Isolated technical details are not supported by high evidence-based clinical data and can only be interpreted as summaries of personal preferences. However with respect of three basic aspects, coverage of the whole original scar, broad overlap of 5 cm and more and the use of adequate mesh material, very good clinical results can be obtained by the laparoscopic IPOM technique.
