Biomechanics of the front abdominal wall as a potential factor leading to recurrence with laparoscopic ventral hernia repair.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06197854 (Onlay Versus Sublay Hernioplasty in Management of Incisional Hernia), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 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.

Abstract
backgroundIntraabdominal pressure often is blamed as the cause of mesh-fascia junction failure after laparoscopic ventral hernia repair. Stretching of the mesh during a cough or defecation may lead to recurrence. Little is known about the movements of mesh in the abdominal cavity after this operation. This study investigated the front abdominal wall to describe its elasticity in vivo and searched for elongations that possibly stretched an implanted mesh, thereby causing fixation failure and subsequent recurrence.
methodsTo measure front abdominal wall elongations, a model of fascia movements was created. Eight healthy volunteers were measured during exercise to determine the extent of elongations in their front abdominal wall. Videos were analyzed in three positions to create a mathematical shell structure. A computerized model based on the net movement of nodes was calculated to determine the axes and values for maximum elongations.
resultsThe largest average elongations were measured for the upper midline (32.08%) and the transverse line in the low lateral area (34.06%). The maximum values for these lines were larger than 100% for the middle line (133.78%) and exceeded 50% for the entire middle line. The values for the horizontal lines did not reach 10% at any level. According to these data, areas of both high and low elasticity were defined.
conclusionsThe presented experiment adds new parameters to the understanding of in vivo mesh behavior. Elongation of the front abdominal wall may stretch implanted mesh and could be a cause of recurrence in cases of insufficient fixation.
