A new approach for transversalis fascia reinforcement in Lichtenstein's inguinal hernia repair.
Article in Surgery today, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Operations undertaken for inguinal hernia repair are the most common elective surgical procedures. According to the current guidelines, Lichtenstein's tension-free method is the gold standard for elective hernia operations. The most common types of implanted mesh are polypropylene and composite mesh. We herein present Lichtenstein's operation using a biological hemostatic mesh (Tachosil) used for transversalis fascia reinforcement, and our results after a 3-year follow-up period for 52 patients implanted with Tachosil mesh are reported. According to our results, the biological mesh can be safely implanted during hernia repair with the same recurrence rate and lower postoperative pain and complications compared to hernia repair with polypropylene mesh implantation.
