A rare complication after transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair: Acute appendicitis.

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
abstractA rare long-term complication of transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair is mesh-induced appendicitis, of which only five cases have been described in the literature. We aimed to present our case of mesh-induced acute appendicitis after TAPP hernia repair. A 25-year-old male presented with a 2-day history of right iliac fossa pain, nausea and appetite loss. He had undergone TAPP repair for a right inguinal hernia 2 years earlier. Imaging revealed an inflamed appendix adhered to the TAPP mesh. Diagnostic laparoscopy confirmed the entrapment and inflammation of the appendix. The patient underwent a successful laparoscopic appendectomy and recovered without complications. Histopathology showed chronic inflammation. To prevent the development of appendicitis after TAPP operation, surgical repair of peritoneal openings is important to prevent such rare complications.
