S-144 lack of association between glycated hemoglobin and adverse outcomes in diabetic patients undergoing ventral hernia repair: an ACHQC study.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
introductionElevated preoperative glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is believed to predict complications in diabetic patients undergoing ventral hernia repair (VHR). Our objective was to assess the association between HbA1c and outcomes of VHR in diabetic patients.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative (ACHQC) database. We included adult diabetic patients who underwent elective VHR with an available HbA1c result. The patients were divided into two groups (HbA1c < 8% and HbA1c ≥ 8%). Patient demographics, comorbidities, hernia characteristics, operative details, and surgical outcomes were compared. Multivariable logistic regression analysis of complications was performed. Cox proportional hazard regression was used to assess probability of composite recurrence at different HbA1c levels.
results2167 patients met the inclusion criteria (HbA1c < 8% = 1,776 and HbA1c ≥ 8% = 391). Median age was 61 years and median body mass index was 34 kg/m
conclusionOur study finds no evidence of an association between HbA1c and operative outcomes in diabetic patients undergoing elective VHR.
