Clinical study on the application of biological mesh and synthetic mesh in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2026. 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
objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of biological mesh in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 200 patients who underwent laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP) between March 2019 and March 2022. Patients were divided into Group A (n = 100), repaired with acellular matrix biological mesh, and Group B (n = 100), repaired with polypropylene mesh. Follow-ups were performed at 1, 3, 6 months, 1 year, and 3 years postoperatively. Outcome measures included operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, recurrence, infection, seroma, foreign body sensation, and chronic pain.
resultsNo significant differences were observed between the two groups in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, recurrence, infection, seroma, or chronic pain (P > 0.05). However, the incidence of foreign body sensation was significantly lower in the Group A (P < 0.05).
conclusionThe acellular matrix biological mesh is safe and effective in the treatment of inguinal hernia, and can reduce the incidence of postoperative foreign body sensation at the same time, providing a new choice for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
