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
purposeThere are many surgical techniques for ventral hernias and diastasis recti, both conventional or video-endoscopic, with or without mesh placement, detailed in the literature. Using some details of the techniques proposed by Wolfgang Reinpold (Mini- or Less Open Sublay Operation, MILOS) and Federico Fiori (Totally Endoscopic Sublay Anterior Repair, TESAR) we found modifications that allowed repairing and reinforcement of the posterior fascia with a retro-muscular mesh and achieve primary fascial closure by minimally umbilical access and searching for the best anatomical, functional, and aesthetic results.
methodDescribe the surgical technique step by step and analyze 629 surgical treatments. The cohort comprises the period January 2018 to January 2023. Our Database registered 318 men and 311 women who underwent video endoscopicassisted Rives-Stoppa techniques to treat umbilical and epigastric hernias with diastasis
resultsAll patients were treated on an outpatient basis and discharged home on the same day. The most frequent complications were seromas with conservative management. Other complications recorded were omphalitis in 6 patients, and three patients presented hematomas, one of whom performed surgical evacuation. There were ten patients with recurrences.
conclusionThese hybrid approaches provide the advantages of mini-invasive techniques with a lower rate of complications and a high standard of quality of life, providing anatomical, functional, and aesthetic benefits.
