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
purposeThe purpose of this study is to present a concept combining three modifications of the component separation technique (CST) in one procedure as an original solution for the management of complex subcostal abdominal wall hernia.
methodsBetween January 2010 and January 2020, seven patients presenting at the high-volume academic center with complex subcostal hernia underwent surgery in which three modifications of CST were combined into one procedure. Major complex subcostal hernia was defined by either width or length of the defect being greater than 10 cm. The following were the stages of the operative technique: (a) the "method of wide myofascial release" at the side of the hernia defect; (b) "open-book variation" of the component separation technique at the opposite side of the hernia defect; (c) a modified component separation technique for closure of midline abdominal wall hernias in the presence of enterostomies; (d) suturing of the myofascial flaps to each other to cover the defect; and (e) repair augmentation with an absorbable mesh in the onlay position.
resultsThe median length and width of the complex subcostal hernias were 15 cm (10-19) and 15 cm (8-24), respectively. The overall morbidity rate was 57.1% (wound infection occurred in three patients, seroma in two patients, and skin necrosis in one patient). There was no hernia recurrence during the median follow-up period of 19 months.
conclusionThe operative technique integrating three modifications of CST in one procedure with onlay absorbable mesh reinforcement is a feasible solution for the management of complex subcostal abdominal wall hernia.
