Combined use of composite mesh and acellular dermal matrix graft for abdominal wall repair following tumour resection.

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
backgroundSurgeries for sarcomas in the abdominal wall require wide resections, often radical en bloc resections, which generate major defects involving a very complex repair. The combined use of porcine dermal xenografts, together with composite meshes, may assist in the repair of these defects with minimal complications.
methodWe present a series of 19 patients (10 males and 9 females), with a mean age of 53.2 years (range: 11-86 years) treated in the Sarcoma Unit of the Virgen de la Arrixaca University Hospital from January 2015 to December 2021. Histopathologically, there were four chondrosarcomas (21%), three Ewing sarcomas (15.7%), two desmoid tumours (10.5%), two undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas (10.5%), two well-differentiated liposarcomas (10.5%), two leiomyosarcomas (10.5%), one synovial sarcoma, one dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, one fibromyxoid sarcoma (or Evans tumour), and one metastasis from an adenocarcinoma of unknown origin. All the patients were resected following surgical oncology principles and reconstructed by means of the combined use of a composite mesh acting as a neoperitoneum and a porcine dermal xenograft acting as an abdominal neofascia.
resultsThe mean size of the defects generated after surgery for tumour excision was 262.8 cm
conclusionSurgeries for sarcomas of the abdominal wall require wide oncological resections, which generate major abdominal wall defects. The repair of these defects by means of the combined use of synthetic and biological meshes is a technique associated with minimal complications and excellent medium-term results.
