Adherence to international guidelines for Groin Hernia Management: a retrospective cross-sectional study in a tertiary government training hospital.
Article in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeThis study aims to determine overall compliance of the Department of Surgery in a tertiary government training hospital to the latest International Guidelines for Groin Hernia Management from July to December 2018.
methodsMedical records of operations involving inguinal hernia in adults done from July to December 2018 (N = 150) were reviewed and compliance rates were determined based on selected ten parameters.
resultsOverall, the Department of Surgery was poorly compliant to the guidelines. All cases were only partially compliant. The highest over-all compliance was noted on the use of clinical examination alone in diagnosing primary inguinal hernias (N = 147, 100%, recurrent hernias excluded), use of appropriate technique (N = 147, 98%), and use of preoperative antibiotics (N = 144, 96%). Poor compliance was noted on round ligament preservation in females (0%), use of intraoperative local anesthesia (N = 5, 3%), and the use of European Hernia Society Classification in the final diagnosis (N = 42, 28%).
conclusionStrict education, implementation, and regular monitoring of these guidelines among both the resident and consultant staff are needed to ensure better compliance to the guidelines.
