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
backgroundLaparoscopic incisional hernia repair with intraperitoneal mesh is associated with a certain degree of adhesion formation to the mesh. This experimental study examined the efficacy of several coated meshes for adhesion reduction.
methodsFive commercially available meshes with a layered coating were placed intraperitoneally in rats and followed up for 90 days: polypropylene and polyester meshes, both coated with absorbable collagen (Parietene Composite and Parietex Composite, respectively), and three polypropylene meshes respectively coated with absorbable omega-3 fatty acids (C-Qur Edge), absorbable cellulose (Sepramesh IP), and nonabsorbable expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (Intramesh T1). Uncoated polypropylene and collagen meshs (Parietene and Permacol, respectively) served as the control condition. Adhesions, incorporation, and tissue reaction were evaluated macro- and microscopically. Additionally, the development of the neoperitoneum was examined.
resultsAll the coated meshes performed equally well in terms of adhesion reduction. The collagen mesh performed comparably, but the uncoated polypropylene mesh performed significantly worse. The different coatings led to very differing degrees of inflammation. Ingrowth was observed only at the place of suture but was comparable for all the meshes except C-Qur Edge, which showed the weakest incorporation. Development of a neoperitoneum on the mesh surface occurred independently of whether an absorbable or nonabsorbable coating or no coating at all was present.
conclusionsCommercially available meshes with a layered coating deliver comparable adhesion reduction. The physical presence of a layered coating between the intraperitoneal content and the abdominal wall seems to be more important than the chemical properties of the coating in adhesion formation.
