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

Introduction: Diastasis recti abdominis usually occurs during pregnancy and delivery in young women with no surgical history, and can induce a severely negative body image, urogynecological symptoms, and musculoskeletal pain. However, the optimal surgical procedure for diastasis recti abdominis is undetermined, and minimally invasive surgery has not been adopted. Additionally, open repair causes scarring that is unlikely to improve negative body image and may even worsen it. We present a case of diastasis recti abdominis surgically treated using an extended-view totally extraperitoneal approach, Rives-Stoppa technique, and transversus abdominis release procedure. Case Description: The patient was a 29-year-old woman who delivered transvaginally two weeks before presenting with bulging of the abdominal wall. Computed tomography revealed separation of the rectus. A three-month course of conservative therapy comprising exercises to strengthen the transversus abdominis was ineffective, and the patient had newly developed abdominal pain. Therefore, we performed surgical repair using the Rives-Stoppa technique and transversus abdominis release via the extended-view totally extraperitoneal approach. The postoperative course was uneventful, with no recurrence. This procedure may be superior to other methods in terms of cosmetic appearance, preventing infection, bowel adhesion, and recurrence. Discussion: In the case study, the Rives-Stoppa technique and transversus abdominis release via the extended-view totally extraperitoneal approach achieved a good therapeutic outcome for diastasis recti abdominis.
