[Learning from others-semitendinosus tendon autograft for inguinal hernia repair (HoTT-TAPP) : Case series with demonstration of feasibility].
Article in Chirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2025. 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
backgroundPlastic meshes are widely used in medicine. Since they are controversial for various reasons, alternatives are being sought.
objectivesPresentation of a case series of inguinal hernia operations (transabdominal preperitoneal [TAPP] technique) with a biological mesh made of autologous tendon tissue. MATERIALS AND
methodsLaparoscopic transperitoneal inguinal hernia operation in 5 patients with tissue from the tendon of the semitendinosus muscle for unilateral inguinal hernia repair.
resultsAll 5 patients successfully underwent surgery.
conclusionTendon tissue from the thigh is used successfully in knee surgery and also by gynecologists in prolapse surgery. Since the morbidity at the donor site is low and the tissue is stable, it might also be used routinely in hernia surgery.
