Preperitoneal herniation after transabdominal preperitoneal patch plasty: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Hernial repair is a common procedure performed by general surgeons. The use of laparoscopic hernial repair has recently increased; it was introduced in the 1980s, is minimally invasive and has few complications. However, because of this increase, rare complications that were previously unknown have been reported. A 63-year-old man underwent transabdominal preperitoneal patch plasty (TAPP) for a left inguinal hernia. Tension was felt in the peritoneum during peritoneal closure. On the fifth postoperative day, the patient was admitted for small bowel obstruction (SBO) and underwent reoperation; the closed peritoneum was lacerated, causing SBO because of herniation of the preperitoneal space. After the hernia was released, the peritoneum was closed again, and the surgery was completed. SBO after TAPP surgery is a rare complication. Several reports have shown staplers, barbed sutures and tacks causing SBO; this complication can be prevented with appropriate peritoneal closure techniques and treated with early laparoscopic surgery.
