Effect of closing the internal ring during laparoscopic TAPP for Nyhus type III indirect inguinal hernia on postoperative seroma: a retrospective cohort study.

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
Objective: To investigate whether sutured closure of the internal ring during laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal patch plasty (TAPP) reduces postoperative seroma formation in patients with Nyhus type III indirect inguinal hernia. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from 266 male patients who underwent surgery for unilateral primary Nyhus type III indirect inguinal hernia between January 2022 and December 2025. Patients were stratified into an experimental group ( Results: Baseline characteristics were balanced between the two groups (all Conclusion: Intraoperative internal ring closure is a safe and feasible adjunct to TAPP for Nyhus type III indirect inguinal hernia, only slightly prolonging operative duration. This technique lowers the risk of early postoperative seroma, yet long-term recurrence outcomes remain to be validated in larger cohorts with extended follow-up.
