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

abstractThe treatment of parastomal hernias (PSH) represents a major challenge in hernia surgery. Various techniques have been reported with different outcomes in terms of complication and recurrence rates. Most of the techniques have certain advantages and disadvantages. The aim of this manuscript is to describe our novel approach to have created a new technique for repair of PSH associated with end stomas. This is an "existing orifice" least invasive surgery that combines the advantages of most of the recognised procedures while minimizing the drawbacks of each and at the same time making it reproducible in safe hands, using the DynaMesh- IPST 3D funnel mesh made of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). With these points in mind, we present the SSIMPLE approach (Stomal access Sublay IPST Mesh repair of ParastomaL hErnia). This is a technique-oriented paper where we offer feasibility, proof of concept in 2 cases with images and illustrations prior to adopting this in a wider cohort. This includes one PSH associated with end ileostomy and one with end colostomy. This also utilises the sac of the parastomal hernia with no other incisions apart from the existing stoma orifice.
