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

Objective: To compare the efficacy of retromuscular repair of incisional hernia by using ProGrip self-gripping mesh and conventional polypropylene mesh. Methods: A retrospective analysis was made on clinical data of 83 cases of incisional hernia between May 2012 and May 2016. Of 83 cases, ProGrip self-gripping mesh was used in 46 cases (self-gripping mesh group) and conventional polypropylene mesh (conventional mesh group) in 37 cases. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, types of incision hernia, hernia ring diameter, course of disease, and associated disease between 2 groups ( Results: The self-gripping mesh group was significantly lower than conventional mesh group in operative time and hospital stays ( Conclusion: It is a safe and feasible curative way to use ProGrip self-gripping mesh for retromuscular repair of incisional hernia as it can reduce operative time, hospital stays, and postoperative pain.
