Single incision approach to totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair.
Article in Wideochirurgia i inne techniki maloinwazyjne = Videosurgery and other miniinvasive techniques, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 5 of them syntheses 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
introductionNowadays the vast majority of inguinal hernia repairs are laparoscopically assisted. Single incision laparoscopy aims to accelerate recovery and provide a better cosmetic outcome after the operation.
aimTo present our own modification of the totally extraperitoneal (TEP) procedure with a single incision and without a multiport, and compare the results with those obtained in the classic three-trocar TEP method. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study group comprised 61 males. The first group consisted of 35 males who underwent single incision videoscopic alloplasty TEP. The second group comprised 26 males who underwent videoscopic alloplasty using the classic approach. The study assessed the time of operation, complications and postoperative pain based on the VAPS scale.
resultsThe operation time in the first group was statistically longer compared with the time in the second group. The assessment of differences in postoperative pain in both the examined groups on the first and seventh day after the operation was considered statistically insignificant. In both the studied groups there was no recurrence of hernia established on the first and seventh day after the operation.
conclusionsThe reduced number of incisions in the TEP method with a single incision approach without a multiport involves a decrease in the number of postoperative scars, and thus offers a better cosmetic outcome compared with the classic TEP procedure. The time of TEP operation performed with a single incision approach without a multiport is statistically longer than the duration of the classic laparoscopic TEP procedure.
