[Incisional hernia: open abdominal wall reconstruction. Current state of the technique and results].
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 5 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
The treatment of complex midline hernias remains a particular challenge. The currently refined knowledge of the anatomy in the cadaver laboratory and advancing clinical experience have changed our present approach. The aim of this review is to present a description of the updated surgical procedures and outcomes. We favor the retromuscular or preperitoneal layer for mesh implantation, including the Rives-Stoppa procedure (sublay mesh) and posterior component separation with the Madrid modification. We operated on 334 complex midline incisional hernias: 6.3% retromuscular preperitoneal, 15% after Rives-Stoppa, 2.4% anterior component separation and 76% posterior component separation. A bridging procedure was used in 31%. A complication occurred in 35.3%, most of which were wound healing disorders (SSO). The average length of hospital stay was 7.2 days. We recorded a very low incidence of long-term complications: 3.3% recurrence, 0.9% chronic pain (daily use of pain medication), 6% bulging, 1.8% chronic seroma and 2.6% chronic mesh infection. Despite the associated morbidity, retromuscular/preperitoneal treatment offers excellent long-term results.
