1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Mesh repairs are widely accepted as a suitable option for ventral hernia repair. Among the various devices and surgical approaches used for ventral hernia repair, the UltraPro Hernia System (UHS) is considered an effective method of open repair for patients with medium ventral hernia defects between 3 and 5 cm in diameter. However, few clinical studies on this system have been reported. We describe a simple and safe UHS mesh technique for open ventral hernia repair, which was performed successfully under local anesthesia in 23 patients with medium ventral hernia defects. Minor postoperative complications included seroma (n = 3) and a superficial infection (n = 1). There was no incidence of recurrence in 12 months of follow-up. Our results show that the UHS is simple and easily reproducible for medium ventral hernia defects between 3 and 5 cm in diameter.
