1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Conventional mesh pockets manufactured from flat textiles by cutting and sewing often display wrinkles, excess material, and suboptimal fit on curved surfaces. This study demonstrates that free-standing lace embroidery enables the production of near-net-shape hemispherical mesh pockets with predefined pore geometries using standard embroidery machines. These pockets are scalable to different implant sizes and shapes. Experimental evaluations, including tensile and drop testing as well as 3D surface scanning, confirmed that the pockets are mechanically robust and exhibit excellent conformity with minimal wrinkling. These results highlight the potential of embroidery as a versatile platform for developing patient-specific surgical mesh implants.
