Is There a Place for Robotic Inguinal Hernia Repair in the Realm of Laparoscopic and Open Inguinal Hernia Repair? A Narrative Review.
Article in Maedica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionRobotic hernia repair is gaining popularity among general surgeons and has potential benefits; however, there are also several issues, of which the one related to increased cost compared to other procedures is the most important one. Integrating a robotic platform in the hernia territory is a difficult task, and this review attempts to analyze the various implications of using robotic assistance in inguinal hernias. From a hernia surgeon's perspective, each new addition to hernia procedures is important; therefore, we encompass the advantages and drawbacks of this technology. The final point is obviously improving hernia surgery and quality of life in our patients.
