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

backgroundTo evaluate the utility of robot-assisted laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (R-TAPP) of postprostatectomy inguinal hernia (PIH) in patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). PATIENTS AND

methodsThis was a prospective, single-centre retrospective cohort study. R-TAPP was conducted in 74 consecutive patients from September 2016 to March 2020. With the exception of women and patients who underwent previous abdominal surgery, 70 patients were classified into two groups based on the absence or presence of PIH. Their data were retrospectively compared to those who had not undergone RALP.

resultsThe median operative time for the PIH group was longer compared to the non-PIH group. However, postoperative complications, including seroma formation, haematoma and surgical site infections, were not significantly different between the groups. The estimated blood loss was small, and hospitalisation duration was 1 day in all cases. Moreover, there were no hernia recurrences within the 90-day follow-up period in either group.

conclusionR-TAPP is a feasible and safe approach for inguinal hernia repair, even in patients who undergo RALP for prostate cancer.
