Review in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07401446 (Comparison of Complication Rates of Onlay vs Sublay Mesh Repair of Incisional Hernia), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

Recurrence after hernia surgery remains a relevant measure of surgical quality. In order to correctly assess the recurrence rate the surgeon needs to distinguish clinical relevant recurrence, clinically irrelevant recurrence and pseudo-recurrence. Current surgical techniques for inguinal hernia repair using mesh are associated with a low rate of recurrence. Thus, recurrence after inguinal hernia surgery is seen as a surgical complication. Conversely, the recurrence rate for large incisional hernias remains above 10 % and in rare cases a recurrence might represent the natural course. Recurrent hernia can depend on the indication, choice of operation and surgical technique. Therefore, postoperative hernia recurrence probably does not represent the natural course but rather a surgical complication that needs to be prevented by an optimized surgical technique.
