Effects of obesity on outcomes of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair: a retrospective analysis.

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
introductionInguinal hernia repair, particularly the transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) technique, is common worldwide. Obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥30 kg/m
aimThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of obesity on surgical outcomes following laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed data from patients who underwent laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair between September 2021 and December 2023. We included patients aged 18 years or older who had elective unilateral TAPP repair for primary inguinal hernia. The patients were categorized based their BMI as obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m
resultsWe analyzed 201 patients of whom 30 (14.8%) were obese and 171 (85.2%) were nonobese. Recurrence rates were 6.67% in the obese and 2.35% in the nonobese patients (
conclusionsThere were no significant differences in recurrence rates, SSIs, operative time, or hospital stay between the obese and nonobese patients. Appropriate surgical expertise and perioperative management can result in comparable outcomes for both groups. Further research is recommended to understand the impact of obesity on hernia recurrence.
