Enhanced recovery after surgical repair of incisional hernias.
Review in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
aimEnhanced recovery programmes (ERPs) were developed to improve the patient's post-operative comfort and reduce post-operative morbidity after several types of major surgery including the incisional hernia repair. The aim of this review was to describe the features of ERPs in the setting for incisional hernia repair.
methodsThe literature review was conducted until March 2019, but retrieved very few papers (n = 4) on this topic. All studies were retrospective.
resultsSetting and comorbidities of incisional hernia patients are of such importance in many cases that prehabilitation (including tobacco use cessation, management of obesity, diabetes or malnutrition) should play a greater role compared with other specialties. The other peri-operative measures are similar to other specialties but their implementation was very heterogeneous in the published studies.
conclusionsLike in other surgeries, ERPs were feasible and probably efficient to improve the post-operative course of incisional hernia patients. But the level of evidence remains low.
