Robotic-assisted single site (RASS) TAPP: an advantageous choice? : Outcomes of single site robotic groin hernia repair.
Article in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeLaparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) is a valid option for bilateral primary groin hernia and recurrent cases. Robotic approach for inguinal hernia is still debated. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential role of robotic-assisted single site-TAPP (RASS-TAPP) reporting our experience.
methodsWe performed 44 RASS TAPP in 32 patients from February 2016 to July 2018. Data on patient demographics, type of hernia, operative time, complications, recurrence rate and hospital stay were retrospectively analyzed. Follow-up was scheduled at 1 week, 4 months and 1 year after surgery.
resultsForty-two hernias were treated in 32 patients (27 M). Mean age was 48.6 years (range 20-67), mean BMI was 26.49 kg/m
conclusionRASS TAPP is feasible and safe with a high patient satisfaction. However, the surgeon experiences a technical discomfort due to the conflict of the instrumentation which influences negatively the choice of this approach, despite the better vision and augmented dexterity provided by the robot.
