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

Perineal hernia after abdominoperineal resection (APR) is a troublesome problem, and severe cases require surgical treatment. However, perineal hernia repair is challenging, especially when combined with intestinal adhesions. The difficulty of the operation lies in performing adhesiolysis and mesh placement under poor visibility. While there are traditional, laparoscopic and even robotic methods of performing this procedure, no easy and minimally-invasive approach has been reported. Here, we report the case of a patient with perineal hernia, who underwent transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) port-assisted laparoscopic perineal hernia repair. The operation was successful, the postoperative recovery was uneventful, the patient's symptoms improved significantly, and no recurrence was found during the 4-month follow-up. The availability and safety of TaTME port-assisted perineal hernia repair provide a promising approach for hernia repair. Compared with traditional perineal or laparoscopic abdominal approaches, this procedure is less invasive and results in a better field of vision.
