Too big to breathe: predictors of respiratory failure and insufficiency after open ventral hernia repair.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
introductionIncreased intra-abdominal pressure in open ventral hernia repair (OVHR) is hypothesized to contribute to postoperative respiratory insufficiency (RI) or failure (RF). This study examines the impact of abdominal volumes on postoperative RI in OVHR.
methodsOVHR patients with preoperative CT scans were identified. 3D volumetric software measured hernia volume (HV), subcutaneous volume (SQV), and intra-abdominal volume (IAV). The ratio of hernia to intra-abdominal volume (HV:IAV) was calculated. A principal component analysis was performed to create new component variables for collinear volume and hernia variables.
resultsThere were 1178 OVHR patients with preoperative CT scans. Demographics included a mean BMI of 34.2 ± 7.7 kg/m
conclusionThe impact of defect size, BMI, HV, SQV, IAV, and HV:IAV on respiratory insufficiency after OVHR is collinear. Patients with large defects and a large ratio of HV:IAV (greater than 0.5) are also at significantly increased risk of RI after OVHR. While BMI impacts these parameters, it is not directly predictive of postoperative RI.
