Robotic paraesophageal hernia repair: a single-center experience and systematic review.
Synthesis in Journal of robotic surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
Robotic Surgery is becoming increasingly used in general surgery. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness and short-term (less than 1 year) outcomes of Robotic Paraesophageal Hernia (RPEH) Surgery using the DaVinci Surgical Robot system (Intuitive Surgical, CA) in a large community hospital. This is a retrospective cohort study of 28 consecutive patients who underwent robotic paraesophageal hernia repair January 2011-March 2013 in this institution. Data and outcomes collected for analysis include patient demographics, operating times, conversion, complications, mortality and recurrence. The mean age of the patients was 68.7 +/- 12.7 years, 82% were females and the mean BMI was 29 +/- 6.3. The mean operative time, including the robot docking time, was 83.6 + 24 min. The average length of hospital stay (LOS) was 2.8 +/- 1.9 days. There were no conversions to open or laparoscopic procedures. Postoperative complications were noted in 3 patients (10.7%), including one mortality (3.4%). One symptomatic recurrence (3.4%) was noted during the 12-month follow-up period. Robotic Paraesophageal repair is a safe (similar rate of complication and mortality to literature for laparoscopic procedure) and an effective (paraeshopageal hernia repaired without high recurrence) procedure with acceptable complication rates even in older patients with high operative risks.
