Predictors of incisional hernia in adult liver transplant recipients.

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
purposeIncisional hernia is a complication following abdominal operation. Patients undergoing liver transplantation have a high risk of developing incisional hernia because of immunosuppression. The purpose of this study was to evaluate incisional hernia after liver transplantation and to identify risk factors for hernia formation in those patients.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 1044 adult patients with more than 2 years of follow-up in patients who underwent liver transplantation from January 2000 to December 2015.
resultsIncisional hernia was identified in 79 patients with more than 2 years of follow-up. The overall incisional hernia rate was 7.6%. The mean age and body mass index (BMI) of the patients with incisional hernia were 55 ± 9 years and 25.3 ± 3.7 kg/m
conclusionAge greater than 55 years and high BMI were significant risk factors. We identified risk factors for the development of incisional hernia. Based on these risk factors, attention should be paid to incisional hernia in older and obese patients.
