Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Repair of Pericardial Hernia in a Heart Transplant Patient.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A pericardial hernia is a rare condition in which a pericardial defect allows an adjacent structure to herniate into the pericardium. A 71-year-old man with idiopathic cardiomyopathy underwent left ventricular assist device placement and subsequent heart transplantation. The patient presented 2 years after transplantation with a pericardial hernia of the transverse colon. The patient underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic reduction of the transverse colon and pericardial repair with a GORE-TEX mesh (W. L. Gore & Associates), with resolution of chest discomfort. A pericardial diaphragmatic hernia is a rare complication of left ventricular assist device placement. A robot-assisted platform can be used to reduce abdominal viscera and repair a pericardial defect.
