Feasibility of a new approach for creating a preperitoneal space in transabdominal preperitoneal repair inguinal hernia repair: using a sandwich approach.
Article in Surgery today, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeIn Japan, transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair is performed by firmly pulling the peritoneum inwards to lift it from the underlying deep layer of subperitoneal fascia. It decreases the postoperative pain and discomfort in the inguinal area. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of the sandwich approach, which is a new technique for creating a preperitoneal space.
methodsThe operation was performed via the sandwich approach. We made sure to protect the preperitoneal fascia areolar layer when making the preperitoneal space.
resultsWe performed TAPP in 745 patients (876 hernias) treated between October 2006 and April 2015 at Himeji Medical Center and Kurashiki Central Hospital. Before October 2010, we did not use the sandwich approach, and recurrence was observed in three patients. From October 2010, we always used the sandwich approach and never experienced any cases of recurrence. Clavien-Dindo classification Grade 3 or higher postoperative complications occurred in 6 patients (0.8%) between October 2006 and April 2015. Mesh-related ileus was the most frequently observed morbidity. There were no cases of vas differentia or spermatic vessel injury, postoperative chronic pain, or urinary retention.
conclusionThe sandwich approach is feasible as another standard dissective procedure for TAPP.
