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
purposeThe extended totally extraperitoneal technique (eTEP) is a relatively new laparoscopic approach to address ventral hernias. Since this technique is not widely used yet, the literature regarding its efficacy and safety is limited, especially when compared to more established surgical techniques like intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM). This study aimed at contributing to the expanding body of evidence for eTEP, by comparing the early outcomes of eTEP and IPOM surgeries for ventral hernias.
methodsThis monocentric, retrospective cohort study compared patients with ventral hernias that were treated with eTEP or IPOM from 2019 to 2023.
resultsA total of 123 patients were analysed. 92 underwent eTEP and 31 IPOM respectively. Both groups were overall comparable. The IPOM group had a higher proportion of incisional hernias (61,29% vs. 21,74%, p < 0,001). This was taken into account for in a subgroup analysis of only primary hernias. The IPOM group had a significantly longer admission time (eTEP: 3 days, IPOM: 4 days, p < 0,001). The subgroup analysis revealed a statistically significant shorter surgery time in IPOM (median of 66,5 min vs. 106,5 min; p = 0,043) and a lower rate of postoperative complications in eTEP (eTEP: 4,17%, IPOM: 25%. p = 0,009). The eTEP group reported lower postoperative pain, yet without statistical significance.
conclusioneTEP for ventral hernia repair appears to be non-inferior to IPOM. Compared to IPOM it leads to shorter postoperative hospital stay and a potentially lower complication rate, despite a longer operation time.
