Clinical research of preperitoneal drainage after endoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair.
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. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 19 papers, 2 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.

Abstract
backgroundSeromas after endoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair are still common to see, which could be a limiting factor that restrains the use of endoscopic TEP approach especially for complicated and severe inguinal hernia.
methodsRetrospective researches were carried out on 478 cases of inguinal hernia who received endoscopic TEP hernia repair from March 2009 to March 2014, including 321 draining cases and 157 non-draining cases.
resultsA total incidence of seroma was observed in 8.79 % patients of 478 cases. 13 and 29 seromas occurred in draining group and non-draining group respectively (4.05 vs. 18.47 %, P < 0.05). In both general hernia group (411 cases) and giant scrotal hernia and irreducible hernia group (67 cases) 21 patients were observed formation of seroma (5.11 vs. 31.34 %, P < 0.001). Incidence of seroma in draining vs. non-draining group of general hernia was 2.87 vs. 9.85 % (P < 0.05), and that 11.90 vs. 64.00 % of giant scrotal and irreducible hernia (P < 0.001). Pain score reduced significantly in draining group one week postoperatively compared with non-draining group (P < 0.05). Incidences of hospital stay after operation, infectious complications and hernia recurrence were comparable in draining and non-draining group (P > 0.05).
conclusionsEfficient drainage in preperitoneal space may effectively reduce the incidences of seroma after endoscopic TEP approach and it may be of vital significance especially in giant scrotal hernias and irreducible hernias.
