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

purposeTo present a novel technique of preperitoneal cross-over for eTEP VHR.

methodsPatients who underwent robotic eTEP with mesh utilizing a preperitoneal cross over technique were identified using a single-institution hernia database. This novel technique involves minimally invasive access to the retro-rectus space on one side with midline cross over into the preperitoneal space on the contralateral side. Baseline demographics of the patients were obtained, and intra-operative and post-operative outcomes were reported.

resultsNine VHR patients underwent robotic eTEP with mesh using a preperitoneal crossover technique. Five patients were male, mean age was 53 ± 18.4 years, and mean BMI was 32.5 ± 4.2 kg/m

conclusionsPreperitoneal cross-over during eTEP ventral hernia technique is a safe technique that allows placement of a large extra-peritoneal mesh. Early patient outcomes are favorable. Larger sample size and follow-up are needed to truly assess postoperative outcomes.
