Intravesical Mesh Migration After Hernia Repair: A Case Report.
Article in Discoveries (Craiova, Romania). 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
While the recurrence rates of inguinal hernia have been significantly reduced by the use of mesh in laparoscopic hernia repair, it has also introduced rare complications, including the uncommon erosion of the mesh into adjacent viscera. We report a 36-year-old male, who following left-sided hernia repair in 2014, presented with persistent dysuria, increased urinary frequency and chronic discomfort at the surgical site. Initially, his symptoms were intermittent but gradually progressed to recurrent urinary tract infections unresponsive to prolonged antibiotic therapy. On further investigation, ultrasound revealed an echogenic linear structure extending from the left inguinal region into the urinary bladder, and contrast-enhanced CT confirmed mesh migration, along with a pseudo-diverticular outpouching from the bladder wall. The imaging was corroborated by surgical findings, and the mesh was removed. This case adds to the limited existing literature and emphasizes the importance of considering mesh-related complications in patients with persistent urinary symptoms after hernia repair. Additionally, it highlights the key role of imaging in diagnosis and in guiding management.
