Nursing Interventions for Management of Patients Undergoing Hernia Surgery: A Meta-Analysis.

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
aimThis review was done to review the effect of nursing intervention for managing patients undergoing hernia.
designMeta-Analysis.
methodsSearches were done in Scopus, Google Scholar, Embase, Cochrane trials library, Medline and Chinese databases from 1964 until February 2024. Meta-analysis was performed and pooled standardised mean differences or mean differences (SMD or MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) reported for continuous outcomes, and odds ratios (ORs) for dichotomous outcomes.
resultsNursing interventions significantly reduced postoperative pain (SMD = -3.088; 95% CI: -4.635 to -1.541) and overall postoperative complications (OR = 0.267; 95% CI: 0.184-0.389). Significant reductions were also observed in infection rates (OR = 0.279; 95% CI: 0.106-0.738), swelling (OR = 0.197; 95% CI: 0.091-0.425), and urinary retention (OR = 0.282; 95% CI: 0.127-0.622). Nursing satisfaction significantly improved across all studies (OR = 5.508; 95% CI: 3.073-9.870). High heterogeneity was noted in some outcomes. Subgroup analyses indicated no significant differences between adults and children or between RCTs and Non-RCTs. Nursing interventions are effective in improving various postoperative outcomes in hernia surgery patients, including pain, complications, infection, swelling, urinary retention and nursing satisfaction. These findings support the integration of structured nursing care protocols into postoperative management to enhance patient recovery and satisfaction.
