1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo present a novel technique for the repair of parastomal hernias.

methodsA total of 15 patients underwent parastomal hernia repair. A robotic Sugarbaker technique was utilized for repair. The fascial defect was closed prior to robotic intraperitoneal placement of the mesh. Baseline demographics of the patients were obtained, and intra-operative and post-operative outcomes were tracked.

resultsThe etiology of the ostomies was oncologic in all but three patients. Five of the stomas were urostomies (33.3%). Patient characteristics were as follows: age 64.9.1 ± 9.3 years, BMI 30.1 ± 4.7 kg/m

conclusionsRobotic Sugarbaker parastomal hernia repair is a safe and effective technique. The results demonstrate the feasibility of fascial closure with this technique and a low recurrence rate. The authors propose this technique should be widely considered for parastomal hernia repair.
