Transversus abdominis release with biosynthetic mesh for large ventral hernia repair: a 5-year analysis of clinical outcomes and quality of life.
Article in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
introductionTransversus abdominis release (TAR) may provide an optimal plane for mesh placement for large ventral hernias requiring medial myofascial flap advancement. Long-term outcomes of TAR for large ventral hernia repair (VHR) remains under-studied. This study aims to assess longitudinal clinical outcomes and quality of life (QoL) following large VHR with TAR and resorbable biosynthetic mesh.
methodsRetrospective review of clinical outcomes and prospective QoL was performed for patients undergoing VHR with poly-4-hydroxybutyrate mesh and TAR from 2016 to 2021. Patients with ≤ 24 months of follow-up, defects ≤ 150 cm
resultsTwenty-nine patients met inclusion criteria. Median age and BMI were 61 years (53.2-68.1 years) and 31.4 kg/m
conclusionLarge VHR with resorbable biosynthetic mesh and TAR can be performed safely, with a low recurrence and complication rate, acceptable hospital costs, and significant improvement in disease-specific QoL at long-term follow-up.
