Treatment of mesh infection after inguinal hernia repair: 3-year experience with 120 patients.
Article in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2023. 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
purposeMesh infection is a devastating complication of sterile hernia repair surgery. This study was performed to assess the short- and long-term outcomes following treatment for mesh infection after inguinal hernia repair.
methodsThis single-center retrospective study included all patients who developed mesh infection after inguinal hernia repair from January 2018 to December 2020. Patient demographics, mesh infection characteristics, microbiology, features of surgery, short- and long-term outcomes, and follow-up data were analyzed.
resultsIn total, 120 patients (8 women, 112 men; mean age, 54.4 years; mean body mass index, 24.8 kg/m
conclusionThe outcome of mesh infection after inguinal hernia repair treated by mesh removal is satisfactory. Systematic individualized treatment by experienced experts based on the patient's previous repair technique, implanted mesh, and physical condition is recommended.
