Causative factors for de novo inguinal hernia after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.
Article 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 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
To determine causative factors for de novo inguinal hernia (IH), after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). This was a retrospective, single-center study, which included patients undergoing RARP for prostate cancer at our institution, from February 2012 to January 2015. Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine the relationships between de novo IH and various factors. A total of 284 patients were included in the analysis. Forty-two (14.7%) patients developed IH at a median period of 8 months after RARP. On multivariate analysis, preoperative international prostate symptom score question 6 > 2, and a patent processus vaginalis were significantly correlated with de novo IH (hazard ratio (HR) 4.17, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.07-8.37, p < 0.001; HR 3.67, 95% CI 2.36-5.69, p < 0.001). Preoperative urinary straining and a patent processus vaginalis were predictive of de novo IH after RARP.
