Endoscopic anterior component separation: a novel technical approach.
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 7 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
purposeOpen anterior release of the external oblique fascia to enable midline closure of large abdominal wall defects is associated with relevant morbidity due to extensive subcutaneous dissection. Using endoscopic techniques, wound complications can be minimized. However, identification of the correct entry point (e.g. for balloon trocar insertion) can be challenging especially in adipose patients. We therefore present a technical modification facilitating the entire procedure.
methodsA novel technique for endoscopic anterior component separation using a trocar system allowing blunt and sharp dissection under direct vision is described. This brief communication also contains our initial experience and learning curve with this novel approach.
resultsEndoscopic release of the external oblique fascia was successfully performed 29 times in a total of 15 patients. Body mass index accounted for 30.8 kg/m
conclusionsUsing a trocar system allowing blunt and sharp dissection under direct vision may be a viable option for the endoscopic anterior component separation.
