Port site hernia at the robotic arm port after robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
Article in IJU case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introductionComplications unique to laparoscopic surgery have been reported, including port site hernia. We experienced a case of port site hernia in the robotic right-hand port site measuring 8 mm in diameter after robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 56-year-old man was indicated a high prostate-specific antigen level of 37.8 ng/ml. Subsequent prostate biopsy revealed adenocarcinoma with a Gleason score of 4 + 4. The patient underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in Juntendo Hospital. Although his postoperative recovery was generally good, the patient complained of sudden nausea and acute abdominal pain. A contrast computed tomography scan showed an ileus due to a hernia occurring at the robotic right-hand port, the da Vinci Arm I port. We released incarceration under laparoscopic procedure.
conclusionSince the port diameter is relatively small in robot-assisted surgery, port site hernias are expected to be rare. However, careful attention should be paid to the positional deviation of the remote center.
