Data and outcome of inguinal hernia repair in hernia registers - a review of the literature.
Review in Innovative surgical sciences, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Register-based observational studies in inguinal hernia repair deliver real-world data from very large patient populations and give answers to important clinical questions never evaluated in randomized controlled trials. Data from hernia registers can provide evidence of effectiveness of therapies in the general population. Hernia registers with high case load have existed in Sweden since 1992, in Denmark since 1998, and in Germany/Austria/Switzerland since 2009. In this review, the most important findings of register-based observational studies in inguinal hernia repair are presented. After an intensive literature search, 85 articles are relevant for this review. Numerous findings from these register-based studies have been incorporated into the various guidelines on inguinal hernia repair. These highlight the particular importance of hernia registers in answering key scientific and clinical questions in hernia surgery. The myriad of surgical techniques described - spanning more than 100 and with ongoing new additions - as well as the large number of associated medical devices call for, more than in other surgical disciplines, meticulous documentation of the methods used for the treatment of inguinal hernias.
