Robotic Ventral Transabdominal Preperitoneal Repair of Uncomplicated Spigelian Hernia.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Spigelian hernias are rare herniations through the Spigelian fascia, with an incidence rate of 0.12-2.0% of all hernias. Diagnosis may be difficult due to a potential lack of symptoms until complications arise. Therefore, imaging with either ultrasound or CT with oral contrast is recommended to confirm the diagnosis if a Spigelian hernia is suspected. Once the diagnosis has been established, it is essential that operative repair be performed as soon as possible because 24% of Spigelian hernias become incarcerated, and 27% of Spigelian hernias lead to strangulation. Management options include open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and robotic surgery. This case report discusses the management of a 47-year-old man with an uncomplicated Spigelian hernia that was repaired with the robotic ventral transabdominal preperitoneal repair technique.
