Short- and Long-Term Outcomes of Transabdominal Preperitoneal, Open Mesh Plug and Open Tissue Inguinal Hernia Repair.

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
backgroundThere have been few comparisons of the postoperative outcomes of transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP), open mesh plug (mesh plug) and open tissue (tissue) hernia repair. The objectives of this study were to compare these repair methods.
methodsThis was a retrospective study of 1813 inguinal hernia patients between January 2008 and December 2016. Of these patients, 474 underwent TAPP repair, 1293 underwent mesh plug repair, and 46 underwent tissue repair. The short-term and long-term outcomes determined by questionnaire were compared among the three groups. In addition, risk factors for patient dissatisfaction were assessed.
resultsIn the TAPP group, the postoperative complications rate was the lowest at 4.6% (7.4% and 6.5% in the mesh plug and the tissue groups, respectively, P = 0.07), and recurrence rate was lower compared to the mesh plug group (0.8% vs. 3.3%, P = 0.002). As long-term outcomes, 92%, 88% and 75% of patients were satisfied in the TAPP, mesh plug and tissue groups, respectively (P = 0.03). The rate of patients with numbness was 3.1% in the TAPP group, 5.2% in the mesh plug group and 14% in the tissue group (P = 0.04). Predictive independent risk factors for patient dissatisfaction were complications (OR: 3.99, 95% CI: 1.35-11.8, P = 0.012) and infection (OR: 16.9, 95% CI: 1.25-229, P = 0.003).
conclusionsTAPP repair is superior to mesh plug and tissue repairs in terms of complications, satisfaction and numbness, as determined by questionnaire. Complications and infection were independently associated with the patient dissatisfaction.
