Laparoscopic repair of sliding inguinal hernia in female children.
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 5 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 the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic repair of sliding inguinal hernia in female children.
methodsLaparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure (LPEC) was performed in 482 female inguinal hernia children between 2006 and 2015. Fourteen of these patients were associated with sliding inguinal hernia, and these 14 patients were enrolled and reviewed retrospectively.
resultsThe mean age and the body weight at the operation was 9.6 months and 7.8 kg. Seven patients required the reduction of the ovary under general anesthesia. Laparoscopy, however, revealed that five patients had severe sliding of fallopian tube into the inguinal canal. One of these five patients received a simple LPEC, but developed the recurrence due to the low ligation of the hernia sac, and needed the second hernia repair under inguinal approach. Other four patients with fallopian tube sliding required the dissection of the fallopian tube and peritoneal repair, or the conversion to inguinal approach; therefore they had longer surgical time compared to those without fallopian tube sliding.
conclusionLPEC is safe and feasible for the sliding inguinal hernia repair except the cases with fallopian tube sliding. Patients with fallopian tube sliding required additional procedure or conversion to inguinal approach.
