Completely laparoscopic repair for recurrent inguinal hernia that developed after open posterior mesh repair.
Article in Asian journal of endoscopic surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Surgeons tend to avoid performing completely laparoscopic repair (CLR) for recurrent inguinal hernia (RIH) that developed after the open posterior mesh repair (OPMR). For many, totally extraperitoneal repair or transabdominal preperitoneal repair after OPMR seems difficult because the previously placed mesh may pose an obstacle during the exfoliation of the parietal peritoneum. Moreover, these procedures could cause chronic pain if the "trapezoid of disaster" is injured. In this small case series, we describe our operative technique for CLR for RIH after OPMR, including modified transabdominal preperitoneal repair and modified intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair. The short-term and midterm outcomes of this procedure are also reported. Although we recognize the need for further analysis involving many more cases and a longer follow-up period, we will continue to perform CLR for RIH after OPMR because the results of this small case series were favorable.
