Our first Pfannenstiel incisional hernia. A case report.

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
The incidence of the Pfannenstiel incisional hernia (IH) is the lowest of all IHs, it can occur due to patient-related factors or faulty technique in closure of the deeper layer. The use of prosthetic mesh repair is heralding a new era of tension-free herniorrhaphy, while the optimal location for its implantation remains controversial. As a result, no strategy or technique has become the gold standard for its repair. We report our first experience with an IH through Pfannenstiel in a 49-year-old obese female patient. Inlay polypropylene open mesh repair was performed. As the only complication, the patient presented with a seroma in the wound, which was aspirated, and she is currently asymptomatic with outpatient consultation follow-up. Pfannenstiel IHs have received minimal attention on the optimal surgical approach and postoperative results, making this case a good starting point for future studies.
