Comparison of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal hernioplasty and laparoscopic iliopubic tract repair for Nyhus type II hernia in women.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
backgroundIndirect inguinal hernia with a dilated internal ring but an intact posterior inguinal wall is classified as Nyhus type II. Females have a higher incidence of indirect hernia than direct hernia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic iliopubic tract repair (IPTR) compared with laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) hernioplasty in treating women with Nyhus type II hernia.
methodsThis retrospective study included 318 women aged ≥ 20 years who were treated for Nyhus type II hernia from January 2013 to December 2018. The patients were categorized into two groups in accordance with the operative technique: the TAPP group (33 patients) and the IPTR group (285 patients). In the IPTR group, intraabdominal suturing of the iliopubic tract and transversalis fascia arch was performed without mesh implantation.
resultsThe mean operation time was shorter in the IPTR group (17.2 ± 3.9 min) than the TAPP group (20.5 ± 8.1 min, p = 0.028). The postoperative complication rate was higher in the TAPP group than the IPTR group [6.1% (2/33) vs. 0.4% (1/285), respectively; p = 0.001]. Inguinodynia occurred in one patient in the TAPP group and no patients in the IPTR group. The hospital stay did not significantly differ between the two groups. The numeral rating scale pain scores at 1 day and 1 week postoperatively did not significantly differ between the two groups. There was no recurrence in either group.
conclusionsLaparoscopic IPTR was safe and feasible for treating Nyhus type II hernia in women.
