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

introductionThe rupture of an umbilical hernia, which is known as Flood syndrome, is a rare and life-threatening complication of liver cirrhosis. Herein, we report the successful repair of a ruptured incisional hernia accompanied by liver cirrhosis. CASE PRESENTATION: A female in her 40s with a history of alcoholic cirrhosis and ruptured acute umbilical hernia treated by primary closure 6 months earlier presented with ascites leakage from abdominal skin. She was diagnosed with a ruptured incisional hernia accompanied by massive ascites. We started preoperative management with topical corticosteroids and oral diuretics. Nine months after the first visit, hybrid herniorrhaphy, extended totally extraperitoneal transversus abdominis release (eTEP-TAR) was performed. The patient has since been well without any sign of recurrence for 2 years.

conclusionsWe experienced a successful treatment of a ruptured incisional hernia accompanied by liver cirrhosis. Preoperative management and surgical strategies are important for the treatment of ruptured incisional hernia and Flood syndrome.
