Analysis of risk factors associated bowel resection in patients with incarcerated groin hernia.
Observational study in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundIncarcerated groin hernia (IGH) is a common surgical emergency. However, there are few accurate and applicable predictors for differentiating patients with strangulated groin hernia from those with IGH. In this study, we aimed to identify the independent risk factors for bowel resection in patients with IGH.
methodsWe retrospectively collected 323 patients who underwent emergency hernia repair surgery for IGH between January 2010 and October 2019. The patients were categorized into those who received bowel resection and those who did not require bowel resection. The receiver-operating characteristic curve was used to identify the best cutoff values for continuous variables. Following this, univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify potential risk factors for bowel resection in these patients.
resultsUnivariate analysis identified 6 variables that were significantly associated with bowel resection among patients with IGH. On multivariate analysis, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (odds ratio [OR] = 3.362, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.705-6.628, P = .000) and bowel obstruction (OR = 3.191, 95% CI 1.873-5.437, P = 0.000) were identified as independent risk factors for bowel resection among patients with IGH.
conclusionIn this study, an elevated NLR and those with bowel obstruction are associated with an increased risk of bowel resection among patients with IGH. Based on our findings, surgeons should prioritize prompt emergency surgical repair for patients who present with elevated NLR and bowel obstruction concurrent with IGH.
