Laparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
Article in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
purposeTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair in patients who have undergone robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP).
methodsFrom July 2014 to December 2016, TAPP inguinal hernia repair was conducted in 40 consecutive patients who had previously undergone RALP. Their data were retrospectively analyzed as an uncontrolled case series.
resultsThe mean operation time in patients who had previously undergone RALP was 99.5 ± 38.0 min. The intraoperative blood loss volume was small, and the duration of hospitalization was 2.0 ± 0.5 days. No intraoperative complications or major postoperative complications occurred. During the average 11.2-month follow-up period, no patients who had previously undergone prostatectomy developed recurrence.
conclusionsLaparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair after RALP was safe and effective. TAPP inguinal hernia repair may be a valuable alternative to open hernioplasty.
