Feasibility and safety of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery of total extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair after previous open groin hernia repair: a comparative study.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThis study is aimed at evaluating the feasibility and safety of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) for totally extraperitoneal (TEP) endoscopic hernia surgery after previous open groin hernia repair that may hamper preperitoneal dissection.
methodsThis prospective cohort study included 213 consecutive patients undergoing LESS TEP hernia repair between January 2009 and December 2013. The study group consisted of 36 patients with a history of previous open inguinal hernia repair before undergoing LESS TEP hernia repair. The study enrolled the other 177 patients who underwent LESS TEP during the same period and were enrolled as the control group. We obtained perioperative data for all patients including demographic data, operation time, length of hospital stay, narcotic dose, conversions, and complications.
resultsA total of 213 patients with inguinal hernia underwent LESS TEP repair. One case in the control group (0.56 %) required conversion to LESS transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair, while no cases in the study group required conversion. We observed no differences between the two groups in terms of operative time, analgesic use, hospital stay, and postoperative complications.
conclusionsLESS TEP hernia repair for patients with previous open inguinal hernia repair can be performed safely by experienced surgeons. Operative outcomes were comparable between both the primary inguinal and recurrent hernia groups.
