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
introductionIndependent postmarket clinical evidence for newly introduced inguinal meshes remains limited. We conducted a multicenter prospective observational study to assess early safety and effectiveness of fixation-free SWING-Mesh in transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) / totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair.
aimWe aimed to assess early (3-month) safety and effectiveness of fixation-free SWING-Mesh use in TAPP/TEP repair. MATERIALS AND
methodsA prospective cohort study was conducted in 20 Polish centers, of which 1 was excluded after central monitoring. Consecutive adults underwent elective TAPP or TEP repair with the unfixed polypropylene SWING-Mesh. Exclusion criteria comprised emergency surgery, bowel resection, contraindications to laparoendoscopic repair, and large direct M3 hernias. Recurrence, complications, unplanned visits / interventions and pain (as per the Visual Analog Scale [VAS]) at discharge, 7-10 days, 30 days, and 3 months postoperatively were recorded. The unit of analysis was the operated groin (case).
resultsWe analyzed 294 cases in a total of 283 patients at a mean (SD) age of 51.9 (15.9) years, 84.4% of which were men. TAPP repair was performed in 86.4%, and TEP procedure in 13.6% of the patients. There were no instances of hernia recurrence by 3 months postsurgery. Pain decreased over time (
conclusionsFixation-free SWING-Mesh use in TAPP/TEP repair was associated with favorable early outcomes. Twelve-month follow-up will report long-term recurrence and chronic pain.
