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

Repair of large abdominal wall defects and hernias poses a unique challenge in the pediatric population. Standard suture repair risks hernia recurrence if the suture pulls through the tissue under excessive forces. Traditional planar mesh requires more invasive surgery and may complicate future abdominal surgery in the child's lifetime. Mesh suture repair potentially offers a lower recurrence risk than traditional suture repairs and less invasive surgery than traditional planar mesh placement. Thus far, there are no reports of the use of mesh suture and its outcomes in the pediatric setting. We describe an 8-year-old child with an acquired massive abdominal wall defect who underwent mesh suture repair.
