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
backgroundIncarcerated inguinal hernia requires emergency intervention.The incarcerated segment should be thoroughly inspected in order to evaluate the degree of ischemia and decide whether resection is required.The aim of this study is to evaluate the applicability of TAPP for patients seen in the emergency department for incarcerated inguinal hernias.
methodsThe study was done retrospectively.Patients who presented to the emergency department and were operated with the TAPP technique were included.İn all patients laparoscopic abdominal exploration was done to determine the extent of the incarcerated intestinal segment and evaluate the need for resection.TAPP technique was used to laparoscopically repair the hernia. The demographics of the patients,technique used for the hernia repair,necessity for resection,postoperative mortality and morbidity and recurrence rates were recorded.
results109 patients were seen for incarcerated hernia.12 patients were excluded either because they were not suitable for or did not consent to laparoscopic repair.97 patients had hernia repair with TAPP technique.İn 6 patients spontaneous reduction of the incarcerated segment was observed after anesthesia induction.İn 9 patients necrosis of the incarcerated segment was observed and re-section and anostomosis was performed.7 patients had laparoscopic 2 patients had open resections.Seroma was observed in 7, hema-toma in 3 and wound infection in 2 patients postoperatively.No mortality was seen.1 patient had a recurrence in the follow up period.
conclusionTAPP technique is a good alternative for selected patients undergoing emergency hernia repair because it provides the surgeon with the possibility to evaluate the incarcerated intestinal segment thoroughly while preserving the advantages of laparoscopic surgery.
