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

backgroundDespite increasing popularity, minimal data exist regarding diastasis plication during robotic ventral hernia repair for small defect sizes. We evaluated the safety and short-term efficacy of this procedure in a series of 30 patients at a tertiary care center using a single robotic technique.

methodsWe performed a single-institution retrospective study of adult patients who underwent elective robotic ventral hernia repair and concomitant diastasis plication with mesh between 10/1/2020 and 12/31/2022. Patients were identified from the electronic medical record and clinical and operative data were manually abstracted from patient charts.

resultsThirty patients underwent robotic transabdominal preperitoneal repair and diastasis plication with mesh for hernia defects < 5 cm. Patient characteristics included mean age 50.6 ± 11.4 years, 50% female, BMI 32.5 ± 6.5 kg/m

conclusionsRoutine diastasis plication during robotic ventral hernia repair is safe and effective, with no increased rates of complications or adverse events and with no documented clinical or radiographic recurrence.
