Inguinal Hernia Repair in a Centenarian.
Article in Cureus, 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
Centenarians present unique challenges regarding medical care, especially the decision to proceed with surgical intervention. This case report describes the successful surgical management of a 100-year-old man who presented to the emergency room with severe right lower abdominal pain due to a recurrent right inguinal hernia. Despite a moderately complicated past medical history, the patient underwent a successful open right inguinal hernia repair with mesh without complications. Preoperative risk assessments indicated a low cardiac risk, and comprehensive perioperative care facilitated an uneventful recovery. This case underscores the importance of appropriately assessing and optimizing the care for centenarians to safely undergo intermediate-risk surgical interventions, challenging the notion that extreme age alone is a contraindication for surgery.
