Quantitative Analysis of Abdominal Muscles Using Elastography in Female Patients With Incisional Hernia.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study aimed to assess the thickness and shear wave speed (SWS) of the anterolateral abdominal wall muscles in female patients with incisional hernias of different widths, in order to analyze the biomechanical properties of abdominal wall muscles. This study included 53 patients with incisional hernia (Group A [hernia width <4 cm]: 21 patients, Group B [hernia width ≥4 cm]: 32 patients). The muscle thickness and SWS values of the external oblique (EO), internal oblique (IO), and transversus abdominis (TrA), and the hernia width were measured using Siemens Acuson S2000 ultrasound systems. Four detection points were labeled on the anterolateral abdominal wall: points 1, 2, 3, and 4, corresponding to the upper right, upper left, lower right, and lower left, respectively. The muscle thickness of the IO at point 3 was significantly different between both groups (
