Comments to "PRevention of INCisional hernia after liver transplantation (PRINC trial): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial."
Article in Trials, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Prophylactic augmentation of the wound with mesh proposed by Kniepeiss et al is the world's first attempt to significantly reduce the risk of postoperative hernia in liver transplantation. Similar technique have been described 17 years ago in bariatric patients and confirmed by many studies in various clinical settings. The results of mesh hernia repair in patients on immunosuppressive therapy are not inferior from the data obtained from non- transplant surgery registers.To reduce the risk of using the mesh in patients scheduled for liver transplantation authors chose absorbable mesh, that maintains the mechanical strength of the wound for up to 18 months. Half of the incisional hernias have been diagnoses more than 3 years from the original procedure.For prevention of incisional hernias, there is no evidence to support the use of biologic/biosynthetic meshes.
