Exploration of laparoscopic day surgery mode for pediatric inguinal hernia: a large cohort study.
Article in Updates in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The pediatric day surgery has experienced a rapid development in recent years. This study aims to investigate the prospects of day surgery in pediatric hospitals. A total of 17,549 pediatric patients with inguinal hernia (IH) treated between July 2018 and August 2023 were included. The patients were divided into four groups: group A1 (open IH repair [OIHR] in the traditional ward), A2 (laparoscopic IH repair [LIHR] in the traditional ward), B1 (OIHR in the day ward), and B2 (LIHR in the day ward). A retrospective analysis was conducted based on clinical data, satisfaction and prognosis. The present study showed that the operative time between groups A2 and B2 showed no significant difference (p = 0.1205). However, the total time from entering to exiting the operating room was significantly longer in group A2 compared to group B2 (p < 0.0001). Hospitalization costs were significantly lower for patients in the day ward compared to the traditional ward (p < 0.0001). There was no significant difference in the recurrent IH rate between groups A2 and B2 (p = 0.977) or in incision infection rates between the day and traditional wards. The recurrent IH rate was significantly higher after OIHR compared to LIHR (p < 0.0001). The parent satisfaction in the day ward is higher than the traditional ward. The day surgery model of LIHR is a safe, reliable, and economically beneficial surgical management model that is highly recommended for pediatric hospitals.
