The optimal mesh weight in onlay repair depends on ventral hernia type: a nationwide register-based cohort study.

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
purposeThe aim was to investigate which mesh weight interval was associated with the lowest risk of recurrence for patients with incisional and primary ventral hernias undergoing onlay repair.
methodsProspectively collected data were obtained from the Danish Ventral Hernia Database, which was linked to the Danish National Patient Registry and the Danish Civil Registration System to ensure complete follow-up of included patients. Data were gathered from January 1, 2007, to April 18, 2024. Multiple exploratory Cox regressions were performed to determine which mesh weight interval was associated with the lowest risk of reoperation for recurrence.
resultsIn total, 10,174 patients were included in the study; of these, 1,966 had incisional hernias and 8,208 had primary ventral hernias, which were considered separately in two different cohorts. For patients with incisional hernias, the mesh weight interval of 50-65 g/m
conclusionFor open onlay ventral hernia repair, mesh weighing 50-65 g/m
