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

A description of two cases of internal herniation caused by a defect in the closure of the peritoneal flap during a trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal procedure is presented here. They were both successfully treated laparoscopically. This rare condition should be considered when patients who have had recent trans-abdominal surgery for inguinal hernia repair present with colicky lower abdominal pain--its aetiology may well be due to technical error. It is already established that laparoscopy is useful as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in emergency cases, but it is also true that it is useful in case of early post-operative period complications following any laparoscopic procedure, such as the laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
