Single-incision totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair as a teaching procedure: one center's experience of more than 300 procedures.
Article in Surgery today, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
purposeTo evaluate resident doctors' proficiency in performing single-incision laparoscopic surgery for totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (SILS-TEP), and assess patient outcomes by comparing procedures performed by resident surgeons vs. those performed by staff surgeons.
methodsWe analyzed retrospectively 301 patients who underwent SILS-TEP between January 2011 and May 2015 at Osaka Police Hospital.
resultsThe mean operative times for unilateral and bilateral hernia repairs in the resident-surgeon and the staff-surgeon groups were 99 vs. 88 min, respectively (p < 0.05), and 130 vs. 137 min, respectively. There was no significant difference in the incidence of conversion to a different procedure between the groups. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 2.0 days for patients from the resident-surgeon group vs. 2.8 days for those from the staff-surgeon group (p < 0.05). Seromas and wound infections developed in 8 % (12/148) of patients from the resident-surgeon group vs. 12 % (19/153) of those from the staff-surgeon group. No other major complications or hernia recurrence were noted in either group.
conclusionsSILS-TEP was performed safely, with low morbidity and no recurrence, by the resident surgeons under appropriate guidance by staff surgeons.
