Ventral Hernia and Obesity: A Contemporary Surgical Challenge.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ventral hernias are abdominal wall defects classified as primary or incisional. Obesity is a significant risk factor, contributing to wound healing impairment and abdominal wall weakness. We present a 37-year-old female patient with obesity (body mass index (BMI) 48.9) who developed incisional hernia (IH) one year after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Imaging revealed infraumbilical and paraumbilical IHs, leading to surgical repair with anterior component separation, unilateral transverse muscle release, and retromuscular mesh placement. Abdominoplasty was performed for functional and esthetic improvement. The patient had a favorable postoperative course. Managing IH in obese patients requires a multidisciplinary approach, considering specialized surgical techniques and long-term follow-up to minimize recurrence. This case highlights the interplay between bariatric surgery, hernia development, and the need for tailored preventive and therapeutic strategies.
