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
purposePatients with obesity and a large pannus may benefit from the simultaneous performance of panniculectomy and ventral hernia repair. However, the literature reports conflicting results regarding an increased risk of surgical site events when both procedures are performed concurrently. This study aimed to describe the outcomes of patients undergoing simultaneous ventral hernia repair and panniculectomy.
methodsA retrospective single-arm cohort study was conducted, including consecutive patients who underwent abdominal wall reconstruction and panniculectomy during the same surgical procedure at a high-complexity center in Bogotá, Colombia, between 2014 and 2024. Demographic data, intraoperative variables, and postoperative outcomes were collected and analyzed.
resultsA total of 171 patients underwent combined abdominal wall reconstruction and panniculectomy in a single surgical session. The mean age was 54 ± 12.8 years, and the average body mass index (BMI) was 27.77 ± 4.7. Male patients accounted for 26.3% of the cohort. The most common complications were seroma, hematoma, and skin dehiscence. The median hospital stay was 2 days (± 3.3). Early discharge with continued recovery through a home hospitalization program was achieved in 11.1% of the patients.
conclusionAbdominal wall reconstruction combined with panniculectomy is a feasible surgical strategy that not only restores the dynamic functionality of the abdominal wall but also improves the patient’s aesthetic appearance. This study represents the first published experience in Latin America aiming to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and clinical benefits of this combined approach in real-world medical practice.
