Prospective randomized clinical trial of Jean Rives technique versus laparoscopic TEP repair for primary inguinal hernia: 10-year follow-up.
Trial report 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 6 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
backgroundThe purpose of the present randomized trial was to compare the Jean Rives (JR) technique and the laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair for the treatment of primary inguinal hernias with respect to operating time, hospital stay, sick leave, chronic pain and recurrences after a follow-up of 10 years.
methods110 patients with primary inguinal hernia were randomized to either a JR repair (53 patients) or to a laparoscopic (TEP) repair (57 patients). All the interventions were exclusively realized by two experienced surgeons. Follow-up examinations were performed after 1, 6 months, 1, 5 and 10 years.
resultsBoth groups were identical concerning age and hernia type, which were type II and type IIIa according to Nyhus classification. No significant difference was found concerning hospital stay, chronic pain and recurrences. The operating time was significantly lower in JR group, whereas the sick leave was significantly in favor of TEP group.
conclusionJean Rives technique is a relatively easy technique to perform, requires shorter operating time when compared to laparoscopic TEP technique. JR technique should be taken into consideration while planning surgical treatment of inguinal hernia.
