Hybrid laparoscopic and anterior approach for postsurgical inguinal hernia after iliofemoral arterial bypass.
Article in International surgery, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Laparoscopic hernia repair has become popular due to its rapid recovery time, fewer postoperative complications, and less chronic pain compared with conventional approaches. Currently, laparoscopic hernia repair is also used for more complex pathogenesis, including extra-anatomic bypass surgery for femoral artery. To the best of our knowledge, cases of inguinal hernia after femoral arterial bypass are extremely rare. We report the case of a 77-year-old Japanese man who was diagnosed with inguinal hernia after a previous left external iliac artery-right common femoral artery bypass. We used a hybrid laparoscopic and anterior approach, and the procedure was completed successfully without perioperative complications. A laparoscopic approach is useful for the diagnosis and treatment of inguinal hernia after extra-anatomic bypass surgery for femoral artery. While complicated, the addition of anterior reinforcement should be considered in cases of insufficient preperitoneal repair using transabdominal preperitoneal patch plasty.
