Transabdominal Preperitoneal Repair With Concomitant Bowel Resection for Strangulated Femoral Hernias: A Report of Five Cases.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
It is controversial whether prosthetic mesh can be used laparoscopically in emergency groin hernia repair when bowel resection is needed. While the guideline for emergency hernia repair recommends the use of prosthetic mesh in a clean-contaminated wound based on the studies with the open anterior approach, evidence supporting the laparoscopic use of prosthetic mesh in a clean-contaminated wound is scarce. The present paper reports the procedure and the clinical outcome of five patients treated by transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair with concomitant bowel resection for strangulated femoral hernia between 2015 and 2024 at Kobayashi Hospital, Kitami, Japan. The hernia was laparoscopically reduced by enlargement of the hernia orifice with traction and compression on the intestine, followed by TAPP repair and extracorporeal small intestinal resection at the same surgery. There was no conversion to open surgery or infectious complications. The results of our report and earlier literature support that TAPP repair with concomitant bowel resection for strangulated groin hernia appears to be feasible and safe, although further studies are needed to verify the safety of this procedure.
