Critical view of robotic-assisted transverse abdominal release (r-TAR).
Article in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
introductionEstablishing straightforward and reproducible steps to describe the technique performed with the aid of the robotic system for complex hernia surgery is key for good outcomes. Even using the description of open surgery as a parameter for performing the robotic technique, it is important to stress the particularities of this access. To describe the steps to perform robotic-assisted TAR (r-TAR) in a standardized technique, with a critical and safe view of all the anatomical structures. DESCRIPTION OF THE TECHNIQUE: We defined 8 landmarks for the critical view of safety in r-TAR which include: (1) patient position, trocar and docking; (2) posterior rectus sheath mobilization; (3) transversus abdominis release (TAR)-Top-down technique; (4) transversus abdominis release (TAR)-bottom-up technique and mesh insertion; (5) contralateral trocar insertion and redocking, 6) posterior sheath closure; (7) final mesh positioning; and (8) anterior defect closure and drains. DISCUSSION: Complex hernia surgery using a robotic-assisted posterior component separation requires well-established steps so the procedure can be reproducible and achieve better results.
