Repair of a Giant Inguinal Hernia.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
We report a case of a giant inguinal hernia (GIH) that underwent open surgical repair with mesh. The patient had a massive transcompartmental redistribution of abdominal contents from the abdominopelvic cavity to the hernia sac in the scrotum, with subsequent effects on the mechanical nature of the abdominal wall muscles. Repair of this type of giant hernia is challenging as it can raise the intra-abdominal pressure, therefore increasing the risk of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). The large size and chronicity of the hernia, associated with deranged mechanical forces/properties of the abdominal wall, made the management of this complex case unique and interesting. In similar cases of massive incisional or ventral hernias, the term "loss of domain" (LOD) is used. In such types of massive hernias, it is important to carefully plan and monitor for adverse physiological effects associated with increased abdominal pressure.
