Propensity score matching analysis of short-term outcomes in robotic ventral hernia repair for patients with a body mass index above and below 35 kg/m
Article in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to compare perioperative complications after robotic ventral hernia repair between patients with non-obese, class-I obesity with those with class-II or class-III obesity.
backgroundObesity is a growing epidemic and is considered as an independent risk factor for a multitude of perioperative complications. Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair has been shown as a safe and feasible approach in population with elevated body mass index (BMI). This study compared overall perioperative complications and surgical site events (SSEs) after robotic ventral hernia repair (RVHR) between patients with a BMI 35 kg/m
methodsA retrospective cohort analysis was conducted with one-to-one propensity score matching (PSM) method to obtain balanced groups evaluating patients who underwent RVHR between February 2012 and June 2019 in a single institution. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables were reviewed. Postoperative complications and morbidity were assessed using the Clavien-Dindo classification and comprehensive complication index (CCI
resultsOur unmatched sample included 526 patients with an average BMI of 31.2 kg/m
conclusionRVHR in class-II and class-III obese patients is safe, feasible, and effective. In addition to this, it has comparable short-term outcomes with those non-obese and class-I obese patients.
