High recurrence rate of children's inguinal hernia after percutaneous internal ring suturing: a single-center study.
Article in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
aimTo evaluate and compare the differences in recurrence rates of post inguinal hernia repair in children using Laparoscopic Intracorporeal Closure of the Processus Vaginalis (LICPV) and Percutaneous Internal Ring Closure (PIRS) operating techniques and compare them to published data.
methodsA retrospective data analysis of children who underwent LICPV or PIRS techniques between 2005 and 2018 in the tertiary paediatric surgery department of university hospital was done. We analyzed demographic data, operating time, the influence of surgeon, recurrence rate, and the time until recurrence within an observed period of time post-operatively.
resultsA total of 240 patients underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair procedures between 2005 and 2018. Of them 138 (57.5%) were male and 102 (42.5%) were female, with mean age of 6.48 (SD ± 4.7). LICPV method accounted for 170 (70.8%) inguinal hernia repairs, whilst 70 (29.2%) underwent the PIRS procedure. The overall recurrence rate was 8.3%; it was significantly higher in the PIRS group (18.6% versus 4.11%, p < 0.05). Males presented higher recurrence rates over females across both procedures. The mean time taken for any recurrence to happen was shorter in patients who underwent the PIRS method as opposed to LICPV techniques, 3.3 and 6.5 months, respectively (p > 0.05).
conclusionIn our hands, a significantly higher recurrence rate exists for children undergoing the PIRS method over LICPV techniques when treating inguinal hernias.
