Efficacy of laparoscopic herniorrhaphy for treating incarcerated pediatric inguinal hernia.
Article in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeInguinal hernia repair is one of the most common elective surgeries. Most patients present with reducible inguinal bulging; however, in cases of incarcerated inguinal hernia (IIH), an emergency surgery is required. Here, we report the surgical outcomes of a laparoscopic approach for IIH.
methodsLaparoscopic herniorrhaphy was performed in 4782 pediatric patients from September 2012 to December 2016 at Damsoyu Hospital, Seoul, Korea. Among them, the surgical outcomes of 164 IIH patients were retrospectively analyzed.
resultsIncarcerated organs comprised 51 ovaries, 103 intestines, and 10 omentums. The ovary (51/66) and intestine (88/98) were the most common incarcerated organs in females and males, respectively. The intestines, ovaries, and omentums were preserved in most cases. An oophorectomy was performed in one female patient with an unrecovered ischemic ovary, and an orchiectomy was performed in a male patient with ischemic testis because of cord vessel compression caused by intestine incarceration. In male pediatric patients, an age of <12 months and symptom duration of >1 week were risk factors for IIH, whereas in female pediatric patients, an age of <12 months and symptom duration of ≤1 week were risk factors for IIH.
conclusionsThe intestines and ovaries were the most commonly herniated organs in male and female pediatric patients, respectively. Intracorporeal organ reduction was easily performed with a laparoscopic instrument.
