Small Bowel Herniation Into a Post-bariatric Pannus After Cesarean Delivery Managed With Single-Stage Panniculectomy and Rives-Stoppa Repair: A Case Report.
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
Redundant pannus after massive weight loss can impair function and obscure abdominal wall pathology. Incisional hernia after cesarean delivery is uncommon, and extension of the small bowel into a post-bariatric pannus is particularly unusual. We report a 42-year-old woman with three prior cesarean deliveries and prior bariatric surgery who presented with a functionally limiting grade 3 pannus and a long-standing, nonreducible lower abdominal bulge. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a 12.3 cm × 5.6 cm low ventral incisional hernia with a 6.7 cm neck containing small bowel loops extending into the pendulous pannus. A single-stage operation involving plastic and general surgery was planned for combined panniculectomy and Rives-Stoppa repair. The patient underwent panniculectomy with umbilical sacrifice for exposure, bilateral retrorectus dissection with myofascial release, posterior sheath closure, and Rives-Stoppa repair using a 20 cm × 25 cm retrorectus mesh. She was discharged on postoperative day 1. A symptomatic retrorectus seroma developed within the first postoperative month and was successfully managed with image-guided percutaneous drainage; cultures were negative, and no recurrence or wound breakdown was present at three-month follow-up. This case highlights the value of multidisciplinary planning and carefully selected single-stage panniculectomy with retromuscular hernia repair for complex abdominal wall defects concealed by a post-bariatric pannus.
