Extra-Levator AbdominoPerineal excision (eLAPE): a complicated postoperative perineal hernia.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 75-year-old woman presented with perineal wound dehiscence and small bowel prolapse of a perineal hernia, 6 years after extra-Levator AbdominoPerineal Excision (eLAPE) procedure for rectal cancer. She underwent emergency wound refashioning and perineal hernia repair with Parmacol mesh. Her postoperative recovery was complicated by long-standing ileus, wound infection, and she was discharged to community palliative care services. In this case report, we raise awareness of postoperative eLAPE complications and describe an unfortunate case where a postoperative perineal hernia was not repaired in a patient with multiple comorbidities.
