Reduction of recurrence by peritoneal thermal injury in laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure of internal ring for inguinal hernia in children.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeTo evaluate the impact of peritoneal thermal injury (PTI) in the reduction of recurrence incidence in laparoscopic percutaneous extra-peritoneal closure of internal ring (LPEC) for pediatric inguinal hernia (PIH) in children.
methodsMedical records of patients undergoing LPEC for PIH at our center were reviewed and divided into 2 groups: Group A (period from June 2017 to December 2017)-without PTI and Group B (period from January 2018 to December 2018) with PTI. The surgical technique and the type of suture used for LPEC were the same for both groups. The outcomes of the two groups were analyzed and compared.
results277 patients with 283 IHs in group A were compared to 376 patients with 389 IHs in group B. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, gender, uni- or bilateral hernia. At a median follow-up period of 48 months, there was no hydrocele, suture granuloma, testicular atrophy, or iatrogenic cryptorchidism in both groups. The recurrence rate in group A was 6.4%, significantly higher than 1.8% in group B (p = 0.002).
conclusionsOur study showed that PTI in LPEC for PIH is safe and associated with a significant reduction of recurrence incidence.
