Early outcomes following Duramesh™ implantation for abdominal wall closure: the Croydon experience.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Introduction: Mesh suture, or Duramesh™, is gaining traction for abdominal wall closure and ventral hernia repair. However, published data are limited to US case series and institutional registries. Use in UK and European cohorts remains undocumented. This is the first UK series describing indications and outcomes following Duramesh implantation. Methods: This is a retrospective case series from a medium-sized tertiary abdominal wall unit in the UK. Institutional implant logs of consecutive patients from 1st Sep 2023 to 8th June 2025 were cross-examined to identify relevant patients. Chart review was performed and the indications and outcomes analysed using descriptive statistics. Subgroups were compared with chi-squared and Mann-Whitney Results: In total, 73 patients were included in this series, with a median follow-up of 227 days. Indications for Duramesh implantation included ventral hernia repair ( Conclusion: There is ongoing debate about whether to repair simple and small midline ventral hernias with planar mesh or suture. Our short-term outcomes suggest Duramesh is safe in this cohort and can be technically convenient in certain situations.
