Our First Experience in Using Anatomically Fitted Mesh Implant (Hertra™) During Lichtenstein Repair: A Case Report.
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
This article's main goal is to highlight the successful use of a pre-shaped, anatomically fitted mesh implant in Lichtenstein repair. We treated a 65-year-old male patient who experienced a left-sided hernial protrusion for six years, taking into account his concomitant comorbidities: secondary controlled hypertension, chronic superficial gastritis, and lumbar osteochondrosis with an old scar of appendectomy. Lichtenstein repair using a pre-shaped anatomically fitted polypropylene mesh implant with single-suture fixation was the chosen strategy for repair, achieving a concise surgical time along with initial and delayed onset of postoperative complications. Our objectives during the management of hernia were the use of anatomically fitted mesh implants, seamless fixation, and access to the advantages of anterior hernia repair. Here, we discuss the patient's condition, including medical history, current and local conditions, findings from the investigation, the surgical procedure, and post-surgical developments, additionally elucidating experience-related surgical techniques.
