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
backgroundAccording to global data, hernia surgery is the most commonly performed elective surgical procedure. The primary factor that can lead to the development of a hernia is weakening of the abdominal wall. The only effective method of treating hernias, regardless of their type, is surgery. In the following clinical study, a retrospective - prospective analysis was performed. The aim of the study was to determine, based on open and laparoscopic techniques, the effectiveness and safety of Optomesh
methodsThe study included 171 patients, aged 22 to 70 years, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria specified in the clinical trial plan, including 20 women and 151 men. During surgery, the vast majority of hernias were operated using the Lichtenstein surgical technique (132 patients). The other operations were performed using the Rives-Stoppa technique (23) and laparoscopic TAPP, TEP technique (16).
resultsThe results were collected from intraoperative data and data collected during 2 follow-up visits after the procedure. The presented data collected during interviews with patients concern the frequency of recurrences, pain sensation in the first days after the procedure, discomfort associated with mesh implantation and pain sensation according to the VAS scale. These parameters will help to assess the therapeutic value of this type of implants intended for surgical treatment of hernias. Interviews at the second follow-up visit confirmed the patients' long-term, satisfactory reception in terms of comfort and average pain sensation.
