Quantitative assessment of the impacts of stoppa repair and total extraperitoneal repair on the lower extremity muscular functions in cases of unilateral inguinal hernia: a randomized controlled study.
Trial report in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02813057 (Quantitative Assessment of the Impacts of Stoppa Repair and Total Extraperitoneal Repair on the Lower Extremity Muscular Functions in Cases of Unilateral Inguinal Hernia; a Randomized Controlled Study), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
purposeChoosing the best operative technique for unilateral inguinal hernia is a challenge for surgeons. Therefore, anticipating loss of strength in the lower extremity muscles could be the initial step to make the right decision. To this end, this prospective randomized controlled study compared the physical activity parameters of the lower extremity muscles in patients who underwent total extraperitoneal repair (TEP) and Stoppa repair.
methodsFifty patients with unilateral inguinal hernia who were 18-65 years of age were admitted to a single institution in a metropolitan city in Turkey. Patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to parallel study arms of TEP and STOPPA repair. They were evaluated in the preoperative period and on the postoperative day 3 for an objective isometric and isokinetic assessment of the pain-related functional changes in the lower extremity muscles.
resultsThe measurement results obtained with the Cybex device on the postoperative day 3 were presented as numeric parameters in the digital setting, where the Stoppa repair resulted in a higher loss of strength in the lower extremities compared to the TEP repair. With respect to the total workforce loss in isokinetic muscular measurements at 90 °C/s extension, 90 °C/s flexion, 180 °C/s extension and 180 °C/s flexion, the difference between the TEP repair and Stoppa repair was statistically significant in favor of TEP repair (p < 0.05).
conclusionThis study is the first comparative study in the literature to demonstrate the favorable impact of the laparoscopic hernia repair on the physical activity on the same anatomic site compared to the open surgical procedure by using quantitative values.
