Incisional Hernias Post Liver Transplantation: Current Evidence of Epidemiology, Risk Factors and Laparoscopic

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
BACKGROUND/
aimThe occurrence of an incisional hernia after liver transplantation consists of a potential complication that may seriously affect the postoperative course and the quality of patient's life in general. The purpose of this study was to report the current epidemiological data, analyze the risk factors, evaluate the role of laparoscopic repair in this condition, and present the technical difficulties in the management of this special patient group. MATERIALS AND
methodsA literature search was performed through PubMed. Our criteria included all studies published from March 1982 to February 2019 in English, regarding incisional post-transplant hernias and open or laparoscopic repair. Finally, we collected 19 relevant studies.
resultsIncisional hernia may occur independently of the type of abdominal incision. Risk factors are both patient- and technique-related.
conclusionWell-organized randomized controlled studies are needed, in order to estimate the best treatment strategy for these patients.
