Umbilical hernia repair with composite prosthesis: a single-centre experience.
Article in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeSince 2004, composite prosthesis repair is the preferred procedure for umbilical hernia repair in our centre, although long-term results of this technique are lacking. The aim of this study was to analyze the long-term results of a cohort of patients who underwent umbilical hernia repair with this procedure.
methodsA retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent umbilical hernia repair with composite prosthesis was conducted. Data were obtained from electronic medical records. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to analyze the factors associated with postoperative complications and hernia recurrence.
resultsBetween March 2004 and December 2015, 2135 patients underwent umbilical hernia repair and composite prosthesis (Ventralex or Ventralex ST
conclusionsLong-term results after umbilical hernia repair with composite prosthesis are satisfactory, with a low percentage of complications and recurrences.
