Outcomes of Complex Abdominal Wall Reconstruction with Biologic Mesh in Patients with 8 Years of Follow-Up.
Article in World journal of surgery, 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
backgroundWhile many studies evaluated outcomes of abdominal wall reconstruction with biologic mesh, long-term data is lacking. In this study, we sought to analyze the outcomes of complex AWR with biologic mesh in a robust cohort of patients with a mean follow up of 8 years.
methodsWe conducted a longitudinal study of AWR patients from 2005 to 2019. Hernia recurrence was the primary outcome, and surgical site occurrence was the secondary outcome. Predictive/protective factors were identified using a Cox proportional hazards regression models.
resultsWe identified 109 consecutive patients who met the inclusion criteria. Patient's mean (± SD) age was 57.5 ± 11.8 years, mean body mass index was 30.7 ± 7.2 kg/m
conclusionThese longitudinal data demonstrate that complex AWR with biologic mesh provides long-term durable outcomes with acceptable HR and SSO rates despite high contamination levels, patients complexity, and large defect size.
