Major Bleed Post Minimally Invasive Surgical Repair of Inguinal Hernia.
Article in Cureus, 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
At our center, over 200 patients undergo minimally invasive repairs of inguinal hernias every year using a laparoscope and a robotic-assisted technique. In three patients who underwent a minimally invasive procedure for uncomplicated indirect inguinal hernia, the postoperative course was complicated with bleeding and required an exploratory laparotomy. Post-procedure, the patients developed tachycardia and hypotension with a drop in hemoglobin, for which the patients required surgical re-exploration in an emergent fashion. The factors leading to bleeding were analyzed and are reported herein to increase awareness and prevent the occurrence of these complications during inguinal hernia surgery.
