Biocompatibility of prosthetic meshes in abdominal surgery.
Review in Seminars in immunopathology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Surgical meshes today represent a group of implants mainly used for hernia repair. Modern hernia surgery is no longer imaginable without the application of these special biomaterials leading to millions of implantations each year worldwide. Because clinical trials are insufficient to evaluate the distinct effects of modified mesh materials in regard to tissue biocompatibility and functionality, a basic understanding of the physicochemical properties of mesh materials, as well as the underlying cause for hernia formation, is essential for a rational selection of the most appropriate device. The most important properties of meshes were found to be the type of filament, tensile strength, and experimental data, which indicate that particularly the mesh's porosity is of outstanding importance.
