1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundInguinal hernia repair is the most common surgical procedure in babies. Despite a meticulous technique, relapses may occur. The occurrence of a direct bladder wall hernia in relapses has never before been reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we report two cases of direct bladder herniation: a white baby boy born after 25 weeks of gestation and a white baby boy born after 26 weeks of gestation. Both of the formerly extremely low birth weight babies were affected after open bilateral hernia repair. Recurrent hernias developed on the right side, and direct bladder herniation was identified intraoperatively. In one case, laparoscopy was applied to identify a supravesical type of hernia. Immaturity and a difficult postnatal course might have contributed to hernia relapse in these cases.

conclusionsMisinterpretation of bladder herniation might have disastrous consequences. Laparoscopy is a helpful tool in comparable cases.
