Three-dimensional hernia analysis: the impact of size on surgical outcomes.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
introductionBMI and hernia defect size are strongly associated with outcomes after open ventral hernia repair (OVHR). The impact of abdominal subcutaneous fat (SQV), intra-abdominal volume (IAV), hernia volume (HV), and ratio of HV to intra-abdominal volume (HV:IAV, representing visceral eventration) is less clearly elucidated. This study examines the interaction of multiple markers of adiposity and hernia size in OVHR.
methodsOVHR with preoperative CT scans were identified. 3D volumetric software measured HV, SQV, IAV, and HV:IAV was calculated. A principal component analysis was performed to create new component variables for collinear variables. Hernia PC was composed primarily of hernia dimensions, EAV (extra-abdominal volume PC) included SQV and BMI, and IAV PC included IAV.
resultsA total of 1178 OVHR patients had a preoperative CT scan. Their demographics included a mean age of 58.5 ± 12.4 years, BMI of 34.2 ± 7.7 kg/m
conclusionValues of hernia area, volume, IAV, HV:IAV, BMI, and SQV are collinear markers of patient obesity and hernia proportions. They are distinct enough to be represented by three principal component variables, indicating more nuanced discrete influences on variability of surgical outcomes other than BMI.
