Management of a nine litre abdominal wall seroma post ventral hernia repairs: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 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
introductionseromas are a common and challenging complication post mesh hernia repairs (Morales-Conde, 2012; Salamone, 2015; Vasilakis, 2014). PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 52-year-old male was referred to General Surgery with a large abdominal mass in the setting of morbid obesity and multiple abdominal operations culminating in a ventral hernia repair seven years prior. He had no other abdominal symptoms or malignancy red flags. Imaging demonstrated a large, complex anterior abdominal wall seroma of 40 × 25 × 20 cm. No seromas of this size and location have been reported in the literature. DISCUSSION: Surgical management required drainage, partial capsulectomy and scarification of the remnants with multidisciplinary team involvement for recovery including general surgeons, anaesthesia, intensivists and allied health professionals.
conclusionThe patient recovered well from his operation.
