Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair with Poly-4-Hydroxybutyrate Absorbable Barrier Composite Mesh.
Article in JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundRepair of ventral and incisional hernias (VIHR) is a common procedure, newly introduced resorbable mesh biomaterials provide an attractive option to reduce the use of permanent synthetic mesh in hernia surgery and reduce its complications. However, data on the use of slowly resorbable mesh materials remains scarce, this study aims to evaluate the use of poly-4-hydroxybutyrate/absorbable barrier composite mesh (P4HB/ABCM) in laparoscopic repair of VIHR.
methodsThis is a retrospective study of a sequential cohort of patients undergoing laparoscopic VIHR utilizing a P4HB/ABCM mesh. Perioperative characteristics and clinical outcomes were collected.
resultsIn total, 26 patients including 10 females and 7 males underwent laparoscopic VIHR using P4HB/ABCM. All surgeries were performed in a single institution by the same surgeon. The average patient age was 52.6, and the mean BMI was 35.5. All patients had a clean wound classification. The average defect size was 136.4 cm
conclusionResults of laparoscopic VIHR with P4HB/ABCM are favorable and encourages further studies on the role of absorbable biosynthetic mesh materials in hernia surgery.
