Laparoscopic Repair of a Rare Abdominal Wall Deformity and Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Linea arcuate herniae (LAH) are rare and usually asymptomatic but can present with generalized abdominal pain in the absence of bulging and are impalpable. Diagnosis is dependent on cross-sectional imaging, and operative approach to their management is debatable. Here, we report the case of a 56-year-old female with abdominal pain diagnosed with a linea arcuate hernia by computed tomography (CT) scan. She went on to have laparoscopic primary suture closure of the hernial defect with reinforcing underlay mesh. LAH are effectively elucidated with CT. Although there are concerns regarding mesh-related complications, we advocate a laparoscopic approach and repair with prosthetic mesh reinforcement, fixated with sutures. Long-term follow-up of these patients is still required.
