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
backgroundSynthetic mesh material is of great importance for surgical incisional hernia repair. The physical and biochemical characteristics of the mesh influence mechanical stability and the foreign body tissue reaction. The influence on bacterial infections, however, remains ill-defined. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of a modified mesh structure with variation in filament linking on the occurrence of bacterial infection that is indicated by the occurrence of CD68
methodsA total of 56 male Sprague Dawley rats received a surgical mesh implant in a subcutaneous abdominal position. The mesh of two different polymers (polypropylene (PP) and polyvinylidenfluoride (PVDF)) and two different structures (standard structure and bold structure with higher filament linking) were compared. During the implantation, the meshes were infected with
resultsOverall, the inflammatory tissue response was higher at 7 days when compared to 21 days. At 7 days, PP meshes of the standard structure (PP-S) showed the strongest inflammatory tissue response in comparison to all the other groups. At 21 days, no statistically significant difference between different meshes was detected. CD8
