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

introductionMinimally invasive surgery for diastasis recti has gained attention in the recent past, with several reports with different names and particularities being suggested by the authors. SCOLA (Subcutaneous OnLay endoscopic Approach) is an example of this technique, described here in standardized technique. DESCRIPTION OF THE TECHNIQUE: Basic steps to perform the procedure are detailed, beginning with patient and surgical team positioning, including trocar placement and tips and tricks of the subcutaneous dissection, steps needed to achieve full dissection of the preaponeurotic space, diastasis recti plication, mesh positioning and fixation and drain positioning with fixation of the umbilical stalk. DISCUSSION: Regardless of different names and small technical variations, endoscopic pre-aponeurotic mesh positioning can be performed with well-established steps on a reproducible fashion, aiming to achieve better results. Careful attention should be paid to appropriate patient selection and drain placement to reduce seroma rate, the most common complication.
