Retromuscular Mesh Repair Using Fibrin Glue: Early Outcomes and Cost-effectiveness of an Evolving Technique.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundRetromuscular hernia repairs (RHRs) decrease hernia recurrence and surgical site infections but can cause significant pain. We aimed to determine if pain and postoperative outcomes differed when comparing suture fixation (SF) of mesh to fibrin glue fixation (FGF).
methodsPatients undergoing RHR (n = 87) between December 1, 2015 and December 31, 2017 were retrospectively identified. Patients received SF of mesh (n = 59, 67.8%) before the senior author changing his technique to FGF (n = 28, 32.2%). These 2 cohorts were matched (age, body mass index, number of prior repairs, mesh type, defect size, and wound class). Outcomes were analyzed using a matched pairs design with multivariable linear regression.
resultsTwo matched groups (21 FGF and 21 SF) were analyzed (45.2% female, average age 56 years, average body mass index 34.7 kg/m
conclusionsSutureless RHR using FGF may result in decreased pain when compared with a matched cohort receiving SF, translating to enhanced recovery time, shortened hospital stay, and decreased costs.
