Sudden death caused by acute pulmonary embolism after laparoscopic total extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair: a case report and literature review.
Review 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. Cited by 6 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
purposeLaparoscopic repair of inguinal hernias is an increasingly popular method of herniorrhaphy, providing advantages, including lower wound infection rates, faster recovery times and less postoperative pain compared with open procedures. The perioperative incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE), which comprises deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is low, but VTE is still one of the most common causes of postoperative mortality. Moreover, the VTE risk assessment and prophylaxis in inguinal hernia patients is not well defined.
methodsWe present an unusual case of sudden death owing to acute pulmonary embolism after undergoing total extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair. Medline and PubMed databases were searched using the keywords mentioned below, and the literature on VTE risk assessment and prophylaxis in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is reviewed.
resultsLaparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, which is regarded as a low risk procedure for VTE, has potential risks for VTE development in the perioperative period. The risks come from both surgical procedures and intrinsic patient characteristics.
conclusionsClinicians should consider both the strength of individual risk factors and the cumulative weight of all risk factors prior to surgery. A full VTE risk assessment is essential with proper prophylaxis measures especially in quality-of-life procedures.
