Robotic repair of a traumatic Spigelian hernia.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Spigelian hernias are a rare type of hernia that can be either congenital or acquired from weakening of the semilunaris line. Spigelian hernias are often difficult to diagnose due to the lack of an obvious defect on physical exam. This report presents the case of a traumatic Spigelian hernia in a 59-year-old after a fall from a tree onto a fence. Computed tomography imaging demonstrated several rib fractures as well as an 8 cm fat-containing Spigelian hernia. Given the risk of bowel herniation, this was repaired during the same admission via a robot-assisted approach with primary repair of the defect and mesh placement in an intraperitoneal onlay mesh fashion. At the patient's postoperative visits at 1, 3, and 8 months, there was no evidence of hernia recurrence. This case highlights the robotic intraperitoneal onlay mesh technique as a safe and durable option for the repair of traumatic Spigelian hernias.
