Management of ventral hernia in patients with BMI > 30 Kg/m
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 9 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
introductionManagement of ventral hernia in obese is a complex problem. The methods of weight loss, alternatives if the patient cannot undergo bariatric surgery, timing, and type of hernia surgery lacks clarity and are dependent on resources and expertise. There is a need for algorithms based on local population and expertise. In this paper, we present the outcomes of our institutional algorithm.
methodsIt was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Patients with body mass index (BMI) > 30Kg/m
resultsA total of 50 patients underwent treatment as per the algorithm. Mean BMI was 36.6 ± 7.3 kg/m
conclusionThe algorithm has shown encouraging results in the short-to-medium term. Long-term evaluation with a higher number of patients is needed to confirm its usefulness.
