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

backgroundImplementing a robotic system for minimally invasive surgical procedures necessitates a comprehensive training regimen. This involves not only mastering the technological aspects of the robotic system but also enhancing surgical proficiency in manipulating robotic instruments. Furthermore, procedural expertise in specific surgeries is critical. Minimally invasive inguinal hernia repair is particularly suitable as an initial procedure for human application. The development of a comprehensive training model for this type of repair is a crucial element of such an educational pathway.

methodAnatomical dissections were carried out on pigs to assess both the similarities and differences between pig and human anatomy. A structured minimally invasive inguinal hernia repair was performed to determine the suitability of the porcine inguinal region for training purposes.

resultsA detailed anatomical description of the porcine inguinal region is outlined, to provide a framework for assessing the critical view of the porcine myopectineal orifice. By integrating the human 'ten golden rules' for safe and effective minimally invasive inguinal hernia repair, the standardized porcine integrated robotic inguinal hernia training (SPIRIT) model describes a step-by-step approach to practice surgical techniques in a realistic setting.

conclusionThe SPIRIT model is designed to be a well-structured training model for minimally invasive inguinal hernia repair and incorporates the specific surgical steps as encountered in a human patient.
