1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionLoss-of-domain in large incisional hernia needs to be addressed by mesh-augmented repair combined with a combination of component separation techniques: progressive pneumoperitoneum (PPP) and chemical component separation with botulinum toxin A. In this case report, successful management of an iatrogenic CASE PRESENTATION: A female patient with M1-3W3 recurrent incisional hernia with a loss-of-domain of 47% was prepared for definitive ventral hernia repair by chemical component separation with botulinum toxin A-infiltration and PPP via an intraperitoneally placed central venous catheter. A significant increase of inflammatory markers was found after 28 days. An emergency CT scan was performed, which showed the PPP and perihepatic/perisplenic contrast-enhancing fluid collections. Exploratory laparoscopy and laparotomy revealed no bowel perforation but fibrinous peritonitis due to an iatrogenic PPP-catheter-associated peritonitis. Despite the fibrinous peritonitis, we decided to proceed with definitive ventral hernia repair (Rives-Stoppa-Sublay-Herniotomy with transversus abdominis release (left) and anterior component separation (right), 42 × 30 cm permanent polypropylene mesh). Initial calculated antibiotic treatment was performed with piperacillin/tazobactam. Microbiologic examinations revealed

conclusionsThe presented case demonstrates the possibilities in complex ventral hernia repair to achieve a satisfying outcome for the patients. Even in cases with infectious complications, a single-stage procedure might be performed safely and a complete reconstruction of the abdominal wall might be achieved. The risk of chronic mesh infection in contaminated situations, especially during the presence of
