Robotic Surgical Procedures for Ventral Hernia Repair.
Review in Journal of abdominal wall surgery : JAWS, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The recent availability of robotic platforms has facilitated the adoption of advanced minimally invasive ventral hernia repair. Robotic-assisted ventral hernia repair is an evolving field with many new techniques and acronyms for different accesses and approaches. This paper aims to describe the four currently most used procedures for robotic ventral hernia repair, all of which are MIS sublay repairs; robotic Trans-Abdominal-Preperitoneal (r-TAPP), robotic Trans-Abdominal-Retromuscular-Mesh (r-TARM), robotic Extended-Totally-Extra-Peritoneal (r-E-TEP), and robotic Transversus-Abdominis-Release (RoboTAR). Their descriptions are supported by illustrations. The paper describes trocar placement, practical tips and tricks, and briefly discusses the indications for each procedure. Furthermore, technical details such as the incision of the flap, access to the correct anatomical planes, dissection techniques, handling of the hernia sac, mesh choice and placement, and restoration of the abdominal wall layers are described. In conclusion, robotic ventral hernia repair has gained wide acceptance with promising postoperative results. There are many different techniques and approaches available, and this paper describes the four most commonly performed procedures in a detailed step-by-step fashion.
