Early- Versus Late-Onset Prosthetic Mesh Infection: More than Time Alone.
Article in The Indian journal of surgery, 2015. 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
Prosthetic mesh used for ventral incisional hernia makes hernia repair surgery simple, effective, and safe. The mesh infection is a formidable complication and bimodal distribution. The differences between early- and late-onset are unknown. This is a cohort study of patients undergoing ventral incisional hernia (VIH) repair from January 2003 to September 2013. Data of specific risk variables were collected from electronic medical record systems in Jinling Hospital. And, the quality of lives was evaluated by WHO Quality of Life-BREF. A total of 102 VIH repair patients were analyzed and followed including the noninfection group and early- and late-onset group. There were significant differences between the early- and late-onset group in clinical manifestation, descriptive analysis of the study population, and postoperative quality of lives. These differences might imply the different pathophysiologic process of early- and late-onset mesh infection. Permanent prosthetic mesh should be used with caution, and the study of intraperitoneal onlay mesh is still needed in long-term follow-up.
