Impact of body mass index on minimally invasive ventral hernia repair: an ACS-NSQIP analysis.
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 12 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
purposeBody mass index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m
methodsThe ACS-NSQIP database was queried for all patients age ≥ 18 years undergoing minimally invasive VHR (2005-2015). Patients were stratified into seven BMI classes: underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m
resultsA total of 55,180 patients met inclusion criteria, and 61.4% had a BMI > 30 kg/m
conclusionBMI ≥ 50 kg/m
