Percutaneous internal ring suturing as a first choice laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair method in girls: a single-center study in 148 patients.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
introductionWe sought to retrospectively assess the operative findings and clinical outcomes of 148 girls who underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair with the percutaneous internal ring suturing (PIRS) technique.
methodsBetween 2010 and 2014, girls with inguinal hernia underwent surgery using the laparoscopic PIRS technique described by Patkowski. Demographic and perioperative findings, complications, and recurrences were evaluated.
resultsA total of 205 inguinal hernia repairs were performed in 148 children with a mean age of 5.83 years (1 month-16 years). In 57 girls (38.5 %), the hernias were bilaterally repaired, while in 91 girls (61.5 %) hernias were unilaterally repaired. The mean follow-up time was 3.6 years (range 2.5-6.1 years). No serious complications or recurrence were noted. Granuloma occurred in one patient.
conclusionThe PIRS technique is a safe, simple and effective procedure for girls. Excellent cosmetic results and reduced recurrence rates are associated with this method. This procedure is particularly suitable for girls because they lack a spermatic cord and vascular structures that can cause complications with this technique in boys. Based on our experience and others in the literature, we suggest that the PIRS procedure might be considered a gold standard for inguinal hernia operations in girls.
