An Unusual Case of Ileitis and Partial Small Bowel Obstruction Secondary to Mesh Erosion After Totally Extraperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair.

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 objectives were to highlight that: (1) mesh erosion related partial small bowel obstruction after laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair (IHR) as an uncommon complication can clinically and radiologically mimic ileocolic Crohn's disease in young adults; and (2) implore clinicians to consider a broad set of differential diagnosis and prompt involvement of other subspecialties, especially if preliminary investigations and treatment yield minimal results. The authors report a 34-year-old male who presented with computed tomography (CT) findings of ileitis, which was initially investigated for Crohns' disease. Due to persisting abdominal pain and negative initial investigations, he underwent a laparotomy demonstrating secondary mesh migration with erosion into distal ileum requiring bowel resection, 2.5 years after an uneventful laparoscopic right TEP IHR. The patient made an uneventful postoperative recovery and at 6 weeks follow-up, he had resolution of abdominal pains, and normal bowel function.
