Hybrid Technique for Abdominal Wall Hernia Repair: Description and Early Results.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective Ventral hernia repair is a widely practiced surgical procedure worldwide. The objective of this paper is to evaluate and analyze the results of a hybrid approach for treating ventral hernias. Methods All patients with clinically and radiologically proven ventral hernia underwent hybrid laparoscopic ventral hernia repair at Princess Royal University Hospital, London, United Kingdom using a retrospective approach with the same surgical team. Large defects >10 cm, inguinal hernia, para-stomal hernia, incarcerated patients, and spigelian hernia were excluded. We utilized the laparoscopic approach for the dissection and isolation of the sac and used the port site for the delivery of mesh into the abdominal cavity. Results Our study comprises 67 patients, with 39 males (58.2%) and 28 females (41.8%). The median age in our study group was 41 years (range: 18-65 years). The median BMI was 38 kg/m
