The Management of Traumatic Abdominal Wall Flank Hernia Along the Spigelian Aponeurosis Using Component Separation, Synthetic, and Biological Mesh.
Article in Journal of medical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Blunt abdominal trauma is associated with a variety of medical complications. Traumatic abdominal wall hernias (TAWHs) are a rare sequela of blunt trauma. Of the various forms of TAWH, a rare subtype described as a "spontaneous lateral ventral hernia" or flank hernia occurs in less than 1% of all blunt abdominal traumas. We present a case of a 39-year-old male with a past medical history of epilepsy who was involved in a rollover motor vehicle collision. It was reported that the patient had a seizure while driving. On physical exam, the patient had a large left lower flank contusion. Computed tomography revealed a complex TAWH with complete avulsion of the abdominal wall musculature from the iliac crest and near to total disruption of the internal oblique. To address this, we used a biological mesh inlay, reinforced with a synthetic Ventralight™ mesh secured to the iliac crest. In this article, we describe the patient's experience and management of a complex TAWH.
