Emergency inguinal hernia repair under local anesthesia: a 5-year experience in a teaching hospital.
Article in BMC anesthesiology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundLocal anesthesia (LA) has been reported to be the best choice for elective open inguinal hernia repair because it is cost efficient, with less post-operative pain and enables more rapid recovery. However, the role of LA in emergency inguinal hernia repair is still controversial. The aim of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of LA in emergency inguinal hernia repair.
methodsAll patients underwent emergency inguinal hernia repair in our hospital between January 2010 and April 2014 were analyzed retrospectively in this study. Patients were divided into LA and general anesthesia (GA) group according to the general conditions of the patients decided by anesthetists and surgeons. The outcome parameters measured included time to recovery, early and late postoperative complications, total expense and recurrence.
resultsThis study included a total of 90 patients from 2010 to 2015. 32 patients (35.6%) were performed under LA, and 58 (64.4%) were performed under GA. LA group has less cardiac complications (P = 0.044) and respiratory complications (P = 0.027), shorter ICU stay (P = 0.035) and hospital stay (P = 0.001), lower cost (P = 0.000) and faster recovery time (P = 0.000) than GA group.
conclusionLA could provide effective anesthesia and patient safety in emergency inguinal hernia repair.
