Robotic reconstruction of a left hemi-diaphragm defect with double mesh in a patient with trisomy 21.

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
Robotic reconstructions of large diaphragmatic defects with mesh reconstructions are rare in the literature. We present a case of a complicated diaphragmatic defect, in an adult with trisomy 21, which was successfully repaired robotically with double mesh reinforcement. The meshes were sutured together via a separate suture in the middle to avoid fluid accumulation between them. The patient recovered quickly and uneventfully. On follow-up, he reported no pain, and his performance score improved dramatically. We present this complicated reconstruction in this specific patient, who we think benefitted from avoiding a thoraco-abdominal incision, demonstrating the merits of persevering with a robotic approach.
