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
proposeThe aim was to evaluate results in terms of intra and postoperative complications, hospital stay, postoperative pain, functional recovery, aesthetic results and recurrence rate of totally endoscopic retromuscular hernia repair(eTEP-TAR)compared to conventional laparoscopic incisional hernia repair with defect closure(IPOM+)for right subcostal incisional hernias.
methodsData from consecutive patients requiring conventional minimally invasive subcostal incisional hernia repair collected from January 2014 to December 2018 were compared with patients underwent eTEP from January 2019 to July 2024 in a case-control study.
results51 patients in the IPOM + group and 46 in eTEP group were included.Both groups were comparable considering demographic variables.No significant differences were identified in mean defect length (6,6
conclusioneTEP-TAR for subcostal hernias shows lower postoperative pain and hospital stay with better functional recovery than IPOM+,without differences in recurrence rate and cosmesis result.Postoperative ileus is increased when intraperitoneal mesh is laparoscopically placed. eTEP-TAR in subcostal hernia repair requires significant higher operative time due to its complexity.
