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

Trocar site hernia is a rare complication of minimally invasive surgery, with incidence estimates varying widely. Studies have demonstrated rates of up to 1.2% in patients undergoing gynecologic surgery. Yet, little is known about hernia risk in the urogynecologic patient population who undergo robotic reconstructive surgery. Risk factors for the development of trocar site hernia include both incisional risk factors (trocar placement location, trocar diameter, intraoperative trocar manipulation) and patient risk factors (obesity, pelvic organ prolapse or other hernia). This report presents a case of large incarcerated small bowel hernia at a trocar site following robotic urogynecologic surgery and the resulting interventions, including repeat surgery, to reduce the hernia. This case should prompt urogynecologic surgeons to check port sites after extensive dissections to assess if large peritoneal or fascial defects need additional closure.
