A meta-analysis assessing the efficacy of concurrent robotic inguinal hernia repair (RIHR) during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

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 objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of concurrent robotic inguinal hernia repair (RIHR) performed during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), as well as to evaluate its safety and feasibility. By April 2024, we have performed comprehensive searches across multiple major databases globally, such as Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science. Data analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4 (RevMan 5.4). Our study has been registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024592239). A total of eight cohort studies were included in the analysis. Pooled data demonstrated that concurrent robotic inguinal hernia repair (RIHR) during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) required significantly longer operative time compared to controls (MD 30.80 min, 95% CI 2.36-59.25, p = 0.03; I
