Risk factors for incarceration in groin hernia: a prospective observational study.
Observational study in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04785430 (Incarceration Risk Factors in Inguinal Hernia.Prospective Observational Clinical Trial.), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
purposeGroin hernia is one of the most common benign pathologies requiring surgical intervention. Incarcerated groin hernia is a cause of serious morbidity and mortality. In our study, we aimed to identify the risk factors for incarceration in patients with groin hernia and to better understand the factors associated with incarceration, we studied patients who applied to our clinic for groin hernia and underwent surgery.
methodsA prospective observational study was performed, including all patients who applied to the general surgery out patient clinic or emergency department at Bakirköy Dr Sadi Konuk Training & Research Hospital and were diagnosed with groin or incarcerated groin hernia and underwent hernia repair surgery. Patients were divided into two groups; elective surgery and emergency surgery (incarcerated hernia). Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify risk factors for incarceration.
resultsThe study was performed with a total of 654 cases between January 2021 and February 2023. Of these, 79.4% (n = 519) had elective surgery and 20.6% (n = 135) had emergency surgery. Increase in defect width, which was determined according to the EHS classification, was significantly associated with an incarcerated hernia (ODDS ratio 4.463 and 17.636, respectively). Additionally, female gender, femoral hernia type, chronic cough, and chronic constipation were found to be independent risk factors for incarceration.
conclusionFemale gender, chronic cough, chronic constipation, femoral hernia type, and increased defect diameter are independent risk factors for urgent surgery and therefore incarceration in groin. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: The ClinicalTrials.gov ID number of the study is NCT04785430.
