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

backgroundMost studies reporting the outcomes of laparoscopic ovarian prolapsed hernia operations with large sample sizes are based on intracorporeal closure, while studies on extraperitoneal closure have limited sample sizes. We proactively used the single-incision laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure (SILPEC) technique and obtained favorable outcomes, which we report in this paper.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed patients who had undergone laparoscopic surgery for inguinal hernia at our institution. They were retrospectively classified into two groups based on the pre- or intraoperative diagnosis of hernia with a prolapsed ovary, namely the prolapse group and the non-prolapse group, respectively. The data were statistically analyzed and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

resultsA total of 771 subjects underwent SILPEC during the study period, including 400 girls. Among them, 63 girls were diagnosed with an ovarian prolapsed hernia. SILPEC was successfully performed through a single port in all cases, with a single exception, in whom the forceps was inserted directly through the right lower quadrant to pull up the ovary. The duration of surgery in the prolapse group was not higher than that in the non-prolapse group. During the SILPEC surgery, the ovaries were successfully reverted into the abdominal cavity by external compression of the inguinal area alone in 38 of the 63 patients. In the remaining 25 cases, the ovaries were reverted into the abdominal cavity by external compression of the inguinal area and traction of the round ligament with forceps. None of these cases failed to return to the ovaries.

conclusionOur study results indicate that SILPEC may be performed safely for the treatment of ovarian prolapsed inguinal hernia. Since the ovary and fallopian tube are close to the internal inguinal ring due to the short round ligament, the procedure requires careful suturing with traction of the round ligament.
