Hybrid laparoscopic/open mesh repair of combined bilateral arcuate line and ventral hernias.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Arcuate line hernia (ALH) is a rare entity with only few cases reported in the literature. ALH is difficult to diagnose clinically and is most of the time asymptomatic, and there is no real consensus on how to better surgically approach this condition. We hereby present the case of a female patient with a symptomatic partly reducible ventral hernia. At laparoscopy, bilateral ALHs were incidentally identified and simultaneously treated, using a safe hybrid technique. The postoperative outcome was uneventful and she is still symptom-free with no clinical evidence of hernia recurrence at 2-year postsurgery. ALH is an uncommon interstitial parietal hernia and its diagnosis is often incidentally made peri-operatively, thus reinforcing the benefit of laparoscopy. In a most complex situation of combined bilateral ALHs with ventral hernia, a hybrid laparoscopic/anterior approach is a safe alternative and we recommend mesh reinforcement of all defects.
