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

introductionHernia repair is a common procedure performed by general surgeons. Introduced in 1990s, the use of laparoscopic hernia repair has recently increased and, consequently, rare complications previously unknown have been reported. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 43-years-old male patient who underwent a transabdominal preperitoneal patch plasty (TAPP) procedure for symptomatic bilateral inguinal hernia. On the sixth postoperative day, the patient was admitted for small bowel obstruction (SBO) and underwent reoperation; the central portion of the peritoneal suture in the left inguinal region was lacerated and a hole in the peritoneum had performed a hernia orifice, causing small bowel occlusion by preperitoneal herniation. After the hernia was released, the peritoneum was closed again and the surgery was completed. DISCUSSION: SBO after TAPP procedure is a rare complication and should be considered in patients with abdominal pain and vomiting after TAPP procedure.

conclusionThis complication can be prevented with appropriate peritoneal closure techniques and treated with early laparoscopic surgery.
