Role of Robotic Surgery and Artificial Intelligence in the Management of Abdominal Wall Hernias: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 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
Abdominal wall hernias impact millions of individuals annually. Two rapidly advancing technologies that can significantly enhance hernia management are robotic surgery, with its ergonomic features and technical benefits, and artificial intelligence, renowned for its groundbreaking computational capabilities. Robotic surgery appears to provide numerous advantages for treating both inguinal and ventral hernias, while artificial intelligence has been incorporated in various applications, indicating its potential to improve hernia repair outcomes. Nevertheless, both technologies face several challenges and limitations. A systematic review was carried out using the PubMed and Scopus databases with the search terms "robotic" AND "abdominal wall hernias" AND "artificial intelligence", resulting in 46 articles reviewed. This article examines the pros and cons of robotic surgery, explores the potential applications of artificial intelligence, and discusses the hurdles both technologies encounter. Ultimately, it concludes that although these innovations present many benefits, further high-quality research is essential, along with overcoming numerous barriers, for their effective integration into hernia repair procedures.
