Minimally invasive repair of incarcerated foramen of Winslow hernia: first report using a robotic-assisted approach.

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
Foramen of Winslow hernia is a rare subtype of internal hernias, accounting for ⁓8% of all internal hernia cases. Its nonspecific clinical presentation often delays diagnosis, with ˂10% identified preoperatively. With advances in minimally invasive techniques, robotic-assisted surgery has emerged as a safe and precise method for managing complex intra-abdominal pathology. A 70-year-old male presented with an acute abdomen. He was hemodynamically stable, and computed tomography imaging suggested an internal hernia. Robotic-assisted abdominal exploration revealed a segment of colon herniated through the foramen of Winslow. The colon was carefully reduced without complications. A piece of omentum was placed into the defect, and the retracted gall bladder naturally positioned itself within the foramen, potentially minimizing the risk of recurrence. The patient recovered uneventfully and discharged on postoperative day one. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of foramen of Winslow hernia repair using a robotic-assisted approach.
