Tale of Two Centres-Exploring Bedside Challenges to Implementing a Clinical Quality Registry for Abdominal Wall Hernias in Metropolitan Australia.
Article in ANZ journal of surgery. 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
backgroundIn an effort to improve hernia care and mesh product surveillance, the Australia and New Zealand Hernia Society (ANZ Hernia) has been setting up a prototype binational learning healthcare system virtual clinical quality registry (CQR) for clinical use. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility for clinicians to enrol patients for a prototype hernia CQR in a typical clinical environment across two metropolitan centres in Australia.
methodsAll English-speaking adult patients with capacity to consent and who were being managed for abdominal wall hernias by participating clinicians at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (Adelaide) or at St Vincent's Private Hospital (Sydney) during specified periods were eligible for inclusion. Participating clinicians were recruited and encouraged to provide feedback. The total number of eligible patients for each recruitment period was determined from clinical records. The literature was reviewed to summarise existing hernia registries.
resultsOver a continuous 6-month recruitment period, the conditional recruitment rate of eligible patients encountered by participating clinicians was 34.7% (25 of 74) at TQEH (07/08/2024-02/02/2025) and 48.7% (58 of 119) at SVPHS (15/08/2025-10/02/2025). In the absence of incentives and sustained funding, clinician goodwill alone was insufficient to achieve the minimal standards required by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care for CQRs. An in-depth analysis of the CQR was conducted.
conclusionThe prototype ANZ Hernia CQR would benefit from a redesign to address the structural issues identified, if meaningful system-wide quality improvement is to be delivered across Australia and New Zealand as envisioned.
