Causes of prolonged hospitalization after open incisional hernia repair: an observational single-center retrospective study of a prospective database.
Observational study 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 7 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
purposeEnhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a well-known approach to optimize the recovery after surgery. Little is known about specific causes of prolonged hospitalization despite enhanced recovery after open incisional hernia repair (OIHR). The purpose of this study was to identify the causes of continued hospitalization on each of the first 5 postoperative days (PODs) after OIHR.
methodsThis was a retrospective study of consecutive patients undergoing open AWR at a regional academic hernia center from 2008 to 2018. Patient charts were evaluated using predefined potential causes of continued hospitalization on each of the first five PODs.
resultsA total of 388 patients (mean age 60.9 years, 54.6% male, mean BMI 27.9 kg/m
conclusionCauses for prolonged hospitalization after OIHR were possibly reducible. Future efforts to improve the ERAS regime and reduce LOS after OIHR should focus on pain treatment- and prevention, alternatives to epidural treatment, and well-defined, evidence-based discharge criteria.
