1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Laparoscopic approaches to inguinal hernia repair are becoming increasingly more popular as they offer many advantages to open techniques including faster recovery and lower rates of wound infection. However, it is important to recognize complications associated with newer techniques which only become apparent with increased volume and experience. In this report, we describe a rare case of small bowel obstruction (SBO) secondary to peritoneal defect herniation post-transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP). This is an uncommon complication that is sparsely reported in the literature but may have devastating consequences for the patient if unrecognized or mistakenly attributed to adhesional SBO. A high index of suspicion for internal herniation and a low index for reoperation are important with SBO in the early postoperative phase post-TAPP.
