Incisional Hernia Development: Wound Healing Gone Wrong?
Review in Wound repair and regeneration : official publication of the Wound Healing Society [and] the European Tissue Repair Society. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Incisional hernia (IH) is a common complication of abdominal surgeries, characterised by the protrusion of abdominal contents through a weakened surgical scar. Despite advancements in surgical techniques and biomaterials, IH remains a significant clinical and economic burden, with recurrence rates reaching up to 32% after repair. This unusually high number, despite many years of research focused on the improvement of surgical techniques, requires a better understanding of the potential origins of IH occurrence. This must implicate the tissues involved in scar formation of the abdominal wall for a better understanding of how these tissues are affected by the incision and what can potentially affect the most optimal wound healing. This work aimed to provide a comprehensive summary of the current knowledge regarding the ultrastructure of the abdominal wall and how incisions affect its mechanical integrity.
