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
backgroundThe intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) is for many surgeons a pragmatic solution for the operative treatment of extensive and complex abdominal wall hernias. A few years after mesh implantation we are now faced with a number of late complications of the IPOM procedure. Chronic septic complications, such as mesh infections and fistula formation have an outstanding position.
objectiveWith this case series we would like to share our experiences with the operative treatment of severe late onset septic complications after abdominal wall augmentation with IPOM. Furthermore, the current indications for the IPOM procedure are discussed. MATERIAL AND
methodsFor the period February 2016-July 2019 a total of 10 patients with late septic complications after IPOM implantation were treated in our clinic. The index interventions took place between 2010 and 2017. The clinical picture varied from mesh infections with only minor symptoms to formation of multiple intestinal fistulas.
resultsMultiple stage procedures were required in 9 out of the 10 patients in order to achieve sufficient decontamination of the surgical field. Due to enterocutaneous fistulas, bowel resection was performed in 5 patients. The mesh could be preserved in situ in only one patient. For the reconstruction of the abdominal wall, both plastic surgical methods and implantation of absorbable and non-absorbable meshes were used.
conclusionA consistent treatment with great effort is required for septic complications of the IPOM procedure. The interventions are often associated with extensive adhesiolysis and intestinal resection. Therefore, the indications for intraperitoneal mesh implantation should be handled with caution and an alternative surgical procedure should be considered. There are still special cases, such as hernias with very large abdominal wall defects in which the IPOM method is a suitable treatment option for tension-free reconstruction.
