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
aimTo describe the laparoscopic intraoperative fascial traction (IFT) in the repair of scrotal hernia with loss of domain (LoD), focusing on the prevention of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS).
methodsA multicenter retrospective analysis was conducted on nine consecutive patients with S2 and S3 LoD scrotal hernia, eligible for IFT, treated between November 2023 and August 2024 in eight European hospitals (Italy, Germany and Portugal). Technical details of laparoscopic IFT were documented. Postoperative intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), ventilatory parameters, complications, and recurrence were assessed.
resultsThe median Tanaka index was 0.57 and all patients underwent Lichtenstein repair; in two cases, a simultaneous preperitoneal mesh was added due to extensive inguinal defects. Median operative time was 210 min, with median IFT duration of 70 min and a traction force of 18 kg. Postoperative ACS did not occur. IAP was monitored in 55% of patients, with a median postoperative value of 11.4 mmHg. The median peak ventilation pressure before and after hernia reallocation was 16 and 19.5 mmHg respectively with a median differential of 3,5 mmHg (range 0-8). The median Intensive Care Unit (ICU) monitoring was 1 day, and the median hospital stay was 9.5 days. Five patients developed Clavien-Dindo grade I and II complications, with no recurrence detected after a median follow-up of 19 months.
conclusionThe laparoscopic IFT is a safe and useful adjunct in the surgical repair of LoD scrotal hernias. IFT may reduce the need for preoperative pneumoperitoneum and possibly prevent the development of postoperative ACS.
