Lateral sided trocar site hernia following laparoscopic hernia repair: results of a long-term follow-up.
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 6 papers.
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
purposeTrocar site hernias (TSH) at the umbilical site following laparoscopic cholecystectomy forms the majority of the studies about TSH and there is a missing data in literature about lateral sided TSH. We aimed to evaluate the incidence and factors affecting lateral sided TSH occurrence following laparoscopic abdominal wall hernia repair (LAHR).
methodsPatients who underwent LAHR between March 2013 and 2015 were included in the study. Open approach with blunt dissection for optical trocar insertion and z-shaped suture for closure were used in 22 cases initially (Group 1). Sharp dissection and continuous suture for closure were used for the rest of the patients (Group 2).
results285 patients-237 females (83.2%) and 48 males (16.8%)-with a mean age of 50.14 ± 12.03 were included in the study. Most of the patients were overweight or obese and mean BMI was 29.25 ± 5.04 kg/m
conclusionsTrocar insertion and closure technique have a major role in lateral sided TSH occurrence. Trying to avoid blunt dissection during trocar insertion, closure of trocar site with continuous suture and enlargement of skin incision to provide good view decreases lateral sided TSH occurrence. In addition, increase at the level of BMI has increased the probability of TSH occurrence and further studies are needed to evaluate efficiency of prophylactic prosthetic closure for obese patients.
