Review in Chirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2024. 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
backgroundIn recent years many new surgical techniques for minimally invasive treatment of ventral hernias have been developed and introduced. This review article presents these new minimally invasive surgical techniques, such as extended totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) repair, mini or less open sublay (MILOS), endoscopic-assisted linea alba reconstruction (ELAR), the ventral transabdominal preperitoneal patch (TAPP) technique, intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) plus and laparoscopic intracorporeal rectus aponeuroplasty (LIRA) and discusses recently published results.
resultsModern minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of ventral hernias have the potential to reduce surgical site infections, lower postoperative pain and lead to a shorter duration of hospital stay compared to the classical open hernia repair; however, especially techniques with a retromuscular mesh position are technically challenging due to the preparation in a limited space and difficult to perform endoscopic sutures and necessitate detailed knowledge of the anatomy of the abdominal wall. The treatment of larger hernias in particular should therefore only be carried out under the prerequisite of extensive experience and case numbers.
conclusionThe new endoscopic and endoscopically assisted techniques for treatment of ventral hernias enable the experienced laparoscopic surgeon to primarily and secondarily treat ventral hernias with minimally invasive techniques.
