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

purposePostoperative pain is a common complication following inguinal hernia repair. Progrip mesh is a self-adhesive mesh claimed to reduce postoperative pain compared to traditional mesh types. This meta-analysis aimed to compare postoperative pain, operative time, hospital stay, complications, and recurrence rates between Progrip mesh and other mesh types for inguinal hernia repair.

methodsA systematic search was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials comparing Progrip mesh with other mesh types for inguinal hernia repair. Primary outcome was postoperative pain assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Secondary outcomes included operative time, hospital stay, complications, and recurrence rates. Meta-analyses were performed to calculate pooled effect estimates with heterogeneity assessment.

resultsTwenty-one studies involving 3827 participants were included. Progrip mesh was associated with significantly lower postoperative pain at 6 h (MD = - 1.21, p = 0.05), 1st day (MD = - 0.50, p = 0.03), 7th day (MD = - 0.38, p = 0.01), 2 weeks (MD = - 0.32, p = 0.007), 3 months (MD = - 0.48, p < 0.00001), and 6 months (MD = - 0.43, p < 0.0001) postoperatively compared to other mesh types. However, at 3 days, 1 month, and 1 year, the differences in pain scores were not statistically significant. Operative time was significantly shorter in the Progrip mesh group (MD = - 9.65 min, p < 0.00001). Recurrence rates were significantly higher in the Progrip mesh group (RR = 1.62, p = 0.02). No significant differences were observed in hospital stay (MD = - 0.32, p = 0.22) or postoperative complications (RR = 0.93, p = 0.59).

conclusionProgrip mesh demonstrated a significant reduction in operative time and postoperative pain compared to traditional mesh types for inguinal hernia repair. Though, it was associated with higher recurrence rates. There were no significant differences in other outcomes. Further high-quality studies with longer follow-up are needed to assess the long-term effects of Progrip mesh.
