The Onstep Method for Inguinal Hernia Repair: Operative Technique and Technical Tips.
Review in Surgery research and practice, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04138329 (Comparison of Postoperative Inguinal Pain Between the Onstep Technique and the Lichtenstein Technique), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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.
