[Cost-effectiveness of hernia repair : IPOM versus open sublay mesh technique].
Article in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
In comparison to the conventional technique of incisional or umbilical hernia repair with sublay mesh augmentation, incisional hernias in obese patients can be surgically treated with minor surgical trauma by laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) repair. However, although shortened operation time, hospital stay and faster postoperative reconvalescence might be possible with IPOM repair, the economic calculation including mesh costs is significantly higher. In this study the two operation techniques were compared and the perioperative advantages and disadvantages of both methods were analyzed based on the German diagnosis-related groups (DRG) system.
