Management of diastasis recti during ventral hernia repair: an analysis of the abdominal core health quality collaborative.

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
purposeAdvancements of minimally invasive techniques leveraged routine repair of concomitant diastasis recti (DR), as those approaches facilitate fascial plication and wide mesh overlap while obviating skin incision and/or undermining. Nevertheless, evidence on the value of such intervention is lacking. We aimed to investigate the management and outcomes of concomitant DR during ventral hernia repair (VHR + DR) from surgeons participating in the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative (ACHQC).
methodsPatients who have undergone VHR + DR with a minimum 30-day follow-up complete were identified. Outcomes of interest included operative details, surgical site occurrences (SSO), medical complications, and readmissions.
results169 patients (51% female, median age 46, median body mass index 31 kg/m
conclusionsACHQC participating surgeons usually perform VHR + DR robotically with a retromuscular synthetic mesh and close the DR with running absorbable sutures. Short-term complications occurred in approximately 6% of patients and were mainly managed without interventions. Larger studies with longer-term follow-up are needed to determine the value of VHR + DR.
