Minimally invasive myofascial closure device in combination with laparoscopy for pediatric linea alba hernia repair: a new approach.
Article in BMC surgery, 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
backgroundWe assessed the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of a new minimally invasive technique for pediatric linea alba hernia repair, using a fascial closure device with laparoscopic support. The surgical procedure and technical details are outlined.
methodsClinical data of 15 pediatric patients (6 males, 9 females; ages ranging from 2 to 12 years inclusive) who underwent repair of linea alba hernias using a minimally invasive fascial closure device with laparoscopic assistance at the Guangzhou Medical University Women and Children’s Medical Center between June 2023 and June 2024 were retrospectively reviewed. Preoperative abdominal ultrasonography confirmed hernia diagnoses and measured defects. All surgeries were performed laparoscopically.
resultsAll surgeries were completed laparoscopically without conversion to open procedures. The average surgery time was 28.33 min (range, 15–55 min), and postoperative pain was negligible (pain score: 0), with hospital stays averaging 2 days (range: 1–4). No complications or recurrences were noted over 1 to 12 months of follow-up.
conclusionUsing a minimally invasive fascial closure device with laparoscopic assistance for repairing pediatric linea alba hernias proved safe, feasible, and effective. This approach promotes quick recovery, minimal surgical trauma, reproducibility, and excellent cosmetic outcomes, making it an advantageous treatment option for pediatric patients.
