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

There is still a lot of debate about what is the best technique for ventral hernia (VH) repair surgery. Robotic-assisted procedures are an excellent alternative to overcome the technical difficulties of regular laparoscopic surgery. The onlay technique is one of the most performed surgeries worldwide in open ventral hernia surgery, and the anatomy is easily recognized by all surgeons. Introducing the robotic onlay approach, using robotic-assisted surgery to perform ventral hernia repair with a technique is usual for most surgeons. This "new" approach may change the initial concept that minimally invasive abdominal wall surgery requires specific and tedious training and can help standardize ventral hernia repair by robotic surgery and facilitate training, allowing more surgeons to perform minimally invasive abdominal wall surgery. Finally, clinical studies are needed to measure the impact of Robotot implementation in MIS ventral hernia repair and long-term results.
