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

backgroundImmunosuppression in transplant patients increases the risk of wound complications. However, an optimal surgical approach to kidney and pancreas transplantation can minimise this risk. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine factors contributing to incisional hernia formation in kidney and pancreas transplant recipients. Bias appraisal of studies was conducted via the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. We considered recipient factors, surgical methods, and complications of repair.

resultsThe rate of incisional hernia formation in recipients of kidney and pancreas transplants was 4.4% (CI 95% 2.6-7.3, p < 0.001). Age above or below 50 years did not predict hernia formation (

conclusionsWeight reduction and careful immunosuppression selection can reduce the risk of a hernia. Rutherford-Morrison incisions along with single-layered closure represent a safe and effective technique reducing operating time and costs.
