Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in bladder exstrophy, a new modified solution to an old problem: A cohort study.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeOpen inguinal hernia repair in children with bladder exstrophy is challenging and associated with a high recurrence rate (15%-22%). We report our initial experience with laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernias in five children with repaired bladder exstrophy. This study is the third describing inguinal hernia repair in bladder exstrophy patients using the laparoscopic approach. In this study, we report a different laparoscopic technique.
methodsThis retrospective study was performed on data regarding laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair collected over one year (July 2019-2020). We carried out the laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, closing the internal inguinal ring using a non-resorbable sliding knot suture and incorporating the transversalis fascia for reinforcement, followed by purse-string closure of the peritoneum. Peri- and postoperative outcome parameters, including recurrence rate, were evaluated over a follow-up period of 14 months.
resultsA total of seven male patients from July 2019 to 2020 were admitted to our center with a history of repaired bladder exstrophy and reducible inguinal hernias. Two patients had open inguinal hernia repair due to parental preference and five patients had laparoscopic repair. In the laparoscopic group three patients had bilateral inguinal hernias in one of them a metachronous hernia was discovered intraoperstively, and the remaining two patients had unilateral hernias, one on the right side and the other on the left side. All patients in the laparoscopic group had an uneventful recovery and were discharged within 24 h and there were no complications or recurrences during follow-up.
conclusionLaparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is a better alternative to managing inguinal hernias in children with bladder exstrophy.
