Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy may induce inguinal hernia within the first 2 years: An 11-year single-surgeon experience of >400 cases.
Observational study in Medicine, 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
At present, robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is a gold standard in radical prostatectomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence, risk factors, and timing of occurrence of inguinal hernia (IH) after RARP.We included 427 patients with prostate cancer who underwent RARP by a single surgeon from February 2006 to August 2017. Incidence, clinical, and pathological factors were investigated to assess relationship with the development of IH.Postoperative IH occurred in 29 cases (6.79% of all RARP patients), whereas 22 cases (75.9% of all IH patients) occurred within the first 2 years. The median follow-up period was 5.2 years, and the median age of patients was 65 years. Postoperative IH occurrence was significantly associated with body mass index (BMI), smoking history, and low surgeon experience (P = .036, .023, and .048, respectively). However, low surgeon experience did not reach statistical significance after multivariate analysis.The overall incidence of IH after RARP was significantly associated with BMI and smoking history. With obvious incidence of IH within the first 2 years after operation which was not observed at the open prostatectomy, RARP itself may play a role in the development of IH.
