A Simple Procedure for Mesh Suture Fixation in Robotic Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Technical Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Robotic surgery has become increasingly popular worldwide; however, robotic inguinal hernia repair remains less common outside the United States. As a result, the standardization of robotic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (R-TAPP) techniques has not yet been established and requires further validation. In traditional laparoscopic transabdominal peritoneal repair, mesh fixation is typically achieved using a tucker. In contrast, R-TAPP necessitates the use of sutures for mesh fixation, which can be challenging due to the risk of peritoneal drooping - especially in cases involving the abandonment of the hernia sac technique. This report presents a straightforward technique for mesh suture fixation in R-TAPP that enhances the efficiency of the procedure by streamlining the fixation process on the ventral side of the mesh. In conclusion, this method significantly improves the overall efficiency of R-TAPP, making it a valuable addition to surgical practice.
