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

objectivesInguinal hernia (IH) is a common postoperative complication after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). We developed a novel clipping technique for the prevention of IH developing after RARP.

methodsThis cohort included 759 consecutive patients who underwent RARP for prostate cancer at the University of Tokyo Hospital between January 2011 and December 2018. We reviewed clinical parameters and identified the risk factors of postoperative IH. The prophylactic preventive procedure of IH development was performed by clipping the peritoneum and underlying tissue around the internal inguinal ring using Hem-o-Lok clip to prevent the prolapse of the intestine through the internal inguinal ring.

resultsIn total, 236 patients received the clipping procedure. The median follow-up time was 50 months. The incidence rate of IH was 10.8% (78/720). The median time to the diagnosis of IH was 10 months. Univariate analysis revealed that patients with higher age (age ≥ 63), low BMI (BMI < 25 kg/m

conclusionsThe novel clipping procedure reduced the risk of post-operative IH in obese patients when the RARP was performed by inexperienced surgeons.
