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

purposeThere are several methods for repairing recurrent inguinal hernia, depending on the type of initial repair. Our aim was to analyze our long follow-up results on the open preperitoneal repair for patients with recurrent inguinal hernia.

methodsOur retrospective survey included 135 consecutive recurrent inguinal hernia patients, operated on during 1999-2010, with a mean follow-up time of 8.7 years.

resultsDuring the mean follow-up time of 8.7 years, only four (3%) patients developed a re-recurrence. Two of these patients were asymptomatic, and the two other were operated on. Early postoperative complications occurred in four (3%) patients. The complications comprised one hematoma, one seroma, and two infections. Chronic pain was diagnosed in five (3.7%) patients, but their symptoms disappeared spontaneously within a few years.

conclusionsWe conclude that in competent hands, the open preperitoneal repair (Ugahary) is a good surgical option in operating recurrent inguinal hernias.
