Clinical characteristics of patients with inguinal hernia mesh migration into the bladder.

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
Introduction: We report two cases of mesh migration into the bladder after inguinal hernia surgery. Case presentation: In the first case, a 48-year-old woman who underwent right internal inguinal hernia repair, 18 months prior, presented with pollakiuria and microscopic hematuria that was resistant to antibiotics. A submucosal tumor was detected at the bladder dome by cystoscopy, and transurethral resection was performed. Intraoperatively, a migrated mesh was observed in the submucosal lesion. In the second case, a 55-year-old man who underwent a right external inguinal hernia repair, approximately 14 years prior, presented with persistent microscopic hematuria and pyuria. Cystoscopy revealed mesh migration to the upper right bladder wall. Both patients underwent partial cystectomy with mesh removal, and their complaints were resolved after surgery. Conclusion: Mesh migration should be suspected in patients with a history of inguinal hernia repair, accompanied by persistent lower urinary tract symptoms or abnormal urinalysis findings.
