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 updated outcomes after previously describing a novel technique for the robotic repair of parastomal hernias.

methodsPatients who underwent parastomal hernia repair with a robotic Sugarbaker technique at a tertiary hernia center were identified from an institutional database. The approach involves mesh placement in the intraperitoneal or preperitoneal position after closure of the fascial defect. Baseline demographics, intra-operative variables, and post-operative outcomes were evaluated.

resultsTwenty-six patients were identified who underwent robotic Sugarbaker parastomal hernia repair with mesh. Median age was 61.5 (IQR 58.0-67.0) years, 17 (65%) were male, and median BMI was 29.5 (IQR 25.7-32.6) kg/m

conclusionsRobotic Sugarbaker parastomal hernia repair is an effective technique for minimally invasive repair of parastomal hernias. Care should be taken to prevent obstruction of the stoma related to fascial and peritoneal flap reconstruction or mesh placement, which is a significant risk of this technique.
