1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundHematoma is a common complication following inguinal hernia repair. It is usually diagnosed early after surgical procedure and is spontaneously, or after evacuation, resorbed. Chronic organized hematoma is rare surgery complication, there is no relevant article after laparoscopic hernia repair in literature. CASES PRESENTATION: 62- and 54-year-old men presented a groin palpable tumorous mass several month after uncomplicated laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair. Their dominant complaints were mechanical restrictions. The ultrasound showed a solid formation subcutaneously. The removal and histopathology examination confirmed a chronic organized hematoma and at the same time, this ended the patients 'problems.

conclusionBoth patients represent uncommon cases of late postoperative difficulties, uncharacteristic localization of chronic organized hematoma and the need for surgical reintervention to exclude neoplasm.
