Evaluation of quality of life and recurrence rate after intraperitoneal onlay mesh laparoscopic repair of ventral hernia with or without closure of the defect (pIPOM vs. sIPOM).

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
Purpose: We want to evaluate the influence of defect closure in either primary or secondary laparoscopic ventral hernia repair in terms of both recurrence rate and peri- or postoperative hernia-related QoL. Methods: In this retrospective, non-randomized single-center trial, we analyzed 124 patients who underwent a laparoscopic repair for either a primitive or incisional ventral hernia with sIPOM(Group 1) or pIPOM(Group2) between February 2018 and May 2024. All patients were subjected to a specific questionnaire for the assessment of postoperative QoL in hernia-related patients (Eura-HS QoL) prior to surgery and at 6 months after the hernia repair. Results: The two groups did not show significant differences in key baseline and hernia-related characteristics. The median time of follow-up was 49.5 months for the sIPOM group, and 30.5 months for pIPOM Group ( Conclusion: In conclusion we believe the closure of the defect to be an effective and safe method to improve the clinical and functional outcomes in laparoscopic repair of ventral hernia.
