Shrinkage of intraperitoneal onlay mesh in sheep: coated polyester mesh versus covered polypropylene mesh.
Article 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. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCurrently, the laparoscopic placement of intraperitoneal mesh constitutes an acceptable option in the management of ventral hernia. To date, relatively little has been published on the consequences of intra-abdominal placement of a mesh with respect to the decrease of mesh size (shrinkage).
methodsIn each of 16 sheep, four meshes (dimensions 10 × 10 cm), two based on polyester and two on polypropylene, were placed laparoscopically on intact peritoneum and fixed with either non-absorbable or absorbable tacks. After 3, 6, 12, and 18 months, four animals, respectively, underwent a new laparoscopy with the harvesting of mesh and fascia. Quantitative measurement of the mesh size was performed and expressed as percentage shrinkage. Random core biopsies of mesh and adjacent tissue were obtained and histologically examined.
resultsThere was a significant difference of the two meshes with respect to shrinkage at all time points. The coated polyester-based mesh was exposed to more shrinkage compared to the polypropylene mesh covered with anti-adhesive material. Random biopsies at 3 months showed an increased foreign body reaction to the coated polyester mesh.
conclusionsThis study is the first long-term experimental study on mesh shrinkage after the laparoscopic placement of mesh. The polyester-based mesh induced a more intense foreign body reaction and was exposed to significantly more shrinkage than the covered polypropylene mesh.
