Pitfalls and complications of enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal approach to abdominal wall reconstruction.
Review in Surgical endoscopy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundThe enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal access technique (eTEP) to minimally invasive retromuscular abdominal wall reconstruction is a relatively novel technique that has continued to gain popularity. There is a paucity of information regarding the prevention and management of eTEP complications. We reviewed the literature to evaluate the complications reported with eTEP ventral hernia repair and discuss the main complications associated with this technique.
methodsA literature search via PubMed was performed focusing on eTEP ventral hernia repair. Based on the available literature and own practice experience, the authors discuss key strategies for preventing and managing complications associated with the eTEP approach.
resultsOne hundred fifty studies were identified. Forty-seven studies were fully reviewed and twenty-four were included in this review. The technical details of the technique were described as performed by the authors. Postoperative complications were classified into different categories and discussed separately.
conclusionAs the eTEP approach continues to gain popularity, it is essential to consider its unique complications. A focus on prevention with anatomical bearings and sound surgical technique is paramount.
