A Case Report of a Successful Bilateral Lichtenstein Repair Using Elastic Tacks.

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
This manuscript is dedicated to the examination of a case involving a 55-year-old male patient who has experienced bilateral inguinal hernias for a duration of three years. The patient was subsequently referred to our department from the outpatient clinic for the purpose of determining an appropriate surgical intervention. The patient presented with comorbidities including primary arterial hypertension, duodenal ulcer, chronic prostatitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), chronic esophagitis, and occurrences of supraventricular tachycardia. Our research team elected to implement the Lichtenstein tension-free repair modification for both sides within a single surgical operation. Bilateral inguinal hernioplasty was performed successfully on both sides at the same surgical procedure, employing the Lichtenstein technique, which contributed to reducing the operative duration and postoperative complications regarding mesh implants secured with elastic absorbable tacks. The patient experienced no postoperative complications, such as neuralgia, seroma, foreign body sensation, or recurrence. The next five years were scheduled for follow-up every six months. The adoption of this technique yielded outcomes that met expectations.
