From Meshes to Minimally Invasive Techniques: A Comprehensive Review of Modern Hernia Repair Approaches.
Review in Cureus, 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
Hernias are a common medical condition characterized by the protrusion of organs or tissues through weakened muscle walls, affecting millions worldwide annually. Historically, from being treated with open surgeries using tension-free mesh repairs, the landscape of hernia repair has evolved significantly. This evolution has been marked by the advent and refinement of minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches, which offer reduced postoperative pain, shorter recovery times, and improved patient outcomes compared to traditional methods. This comprehensive review aims to elucidate the evolution of hernia repair techniques, emphasizing the transition from conventional mesh repairs to advanced minimally invasive methodologies. By examining the historical progression and current state of hernia surgery, this review thoroughly analyzes the advancements in surgical techniques, materials, and technologies. Furthermore, it explores emerging trends such as biological meshes, ultrasound-guided procedures, and 3D printing applications in hernia repair. The clinical significance of these advancements lies in their potential to enhance the patient's quality of life, minimize complications, and optimize healthcare resource utilization. Insights gained from this review will inform clinicians and researchers about the efficacy, safety, and comparative effectiveness of various hernia repair approaches, guiding future directions in hernia management and fostering innovation in surgical practice.
