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

Diaphragmatic hernias are commonly encountered by general surgeons. However, repair is often fraught with complications and recurrence. The use of extracellular matrix scaffolds for repair of damaged tissues through constructive remodeling is an effective surgical adjunct. Herein, we describe the repair of diaphragmatic hernias using GORE® BIO-A® Tissue Reinforcement patch in a series of patients.
