Incisional Hernia After Laparoscopic-Assisted Right Hemicolectomy.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundDifferent approaches used for laparoscopic right colectomy have different advantages and disadvantages. This study aims to determine the incidence and clinical relevance of IH after LARHC as the preferred technique in an experienced setting and to assess which factors are correlated with the development of IH.
methodsBetween January 2012 and December 2016, all consecutive patients who underwent LARHC were included. Data were obtained in accordance with the Dutch ColoRectal Audit, and IH was scored based on physical examination and imaging at standard follow-up. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for IH.
resultsA total of 170 patients underwent LARHC. In the same period, 64 patients had an open RHC. IH after LARHC was seen in 24 patients after a median time of 7 months (14%). Only four of these patients underwent operative IH repair (2%). Interestingly, a trend for more IH was seen between two surgeons. Multivariable analysis identified BMI [OR 1.08 (95% CI 1.00-1.15) P = 0.043], a history of smoking [OR 2.14 (95% CI 1.03-4.41) P = 0.040], and surgical site infection [OR 2.99 (95% CI 1.28-7.00) P = 0.012] as risk factors for IH.
conclusionIH incidence after LARHC was considerable, but few were clinically relevant IHs. The IH incidence should be included in shared decision making. The low clinically relevant IH rate does in our opinion not outweigh possible advantages of LARHC.
