1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Iatrogenic injury of the bladder is a rare incidence during inguinal hernia repair in children, with serious consequences for such patients. Due to the scarcity of information on this matter, it is our goal to share our experience regarding the therapeutic approach to such a rare occurrence. Specifically, a 22-month-old male was admitted to our department with the complaint of vomiting, abdominal pain and anuria, two days after inguinal hernia repair. The child had distention of the inguinal hernia region and was lethargic. The diagnostic investigation did not reveal any significant findings. During surgical exploration, we discovered an injury to the bladder, while a large part of the dome of the bladder was ligated and subsequently became necrotic. After a reoperation and an enduring postoperative course, the patient finally recovered. Currently, the child is under observation. Therefore, it is of paramount importance for pediatric surgeons to be acquainted with the potential for bladder injury during inguinal hernia repair, ways to manage this complication, and various issues that may emerge during the therapeutic process.
