Impact of pericardium bovine patch (Tutomesh(®)) on incisional hernia treatment in contaminated or potentially contaminated fields: retrospective comparative study.
Article in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis retrospective comparative study analyzes the outcome of patients affected by incisional hernia in potentially contaminated or contaminated field, treated by three operative techniques.
methods152 patients (62 M:90 F; mean age 65 ± 14 years) underwent incisional hernia repair (January 2002-January 2012) in complicated settings. Criteria of inclusion in the study were represented by the following causes of admission: mesh rejection/infection, obstruction without gangrene but with possible peritoneal bacterial translocation, obstruction with gangrene, enterocutaneous fistula or simultaneous presence of ileo- or colostomy. The patients were divided into three groups: A (n = 76), treated with primary closure technique; B and C (n = 38 each), with reinforcement by synthetic or pericardium bovine mesh (Tutomesh(®)), respectively. The prosthetic groups were divided into Onlay and Sublay subgroups.
resultsSignificant decreases in C vs A were observed for wound infection (3 vs 37%) and recurrence (0 vs 14%), and in C vs B for wound infection (3 vs 53%), seroma (0 vs 34%) and recurrence (0 vs 16%). Patients with concomitant bowel resection (BR) (43%) showed (all P < 0.05) an increase of overall morbidity (55 vs 33%) and wound infection rate (42 vs 24%) compared to cases without BR. Morbidity presented no significant differences in C-Onlay or Sublay subgroups. B-Sublay subgroup has (all P < 0.05) lower overall morbidity (20 vs 75%), wound infection (10 vs 68%) and seroma (0 vs 46%) than B-Onlay.
conclusionsThe pericardium bovine patch seems to be safe and effective to successfully repair ventral hernia in potentially contaminated operative fields, especially in association with bowel resection.
