Robotic-assisted primary ventral and incisional hernia repair: a comprehensive comparative analysis of rv-TAPP, r-Rives, and r-TARUP techniques.

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-assisted surgery has transformed hernia repair by improving precision, minimizing postoperative complications, and accelerating recovery. This study evaluates three robotic techniques-robotic transabdominal preperitoneal (rTAPP), robotic Rives (rRives), and robotic transabdominal retromuscular umbilical prosthetic (rTARUP)-for treating primary ventral and incisional hernias. Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted. Databases such as PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched for studies comparing rTAPP, rRives, and rTARUP. Key outcomes included recurrence rates, surgical duration, and postoperative complications, with secondary outcomes assessing hospital stay and cost-effectiveness. Statistical analyses were performed using RevMan 5.4 and STATA 16, calculating pooled odds ratios (OR) and mean differences (MD). Heterogeneity was measured via I
