Utilization of an Umbilical Hernia as a Camera Port in Robot-Assisted Total Hysterectomy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
We report a case of robot-assisted total hysterectomy in which an umbilical hernia was utilized as the camera port. A 43-year-old obese woman with atypical endometrial hyperplasia and an incidental umbilical hernia underwent surgery. After resection of omental contents from the hernia sac, a balloon trocar was placed in the umbilicus and used as a camera port. The hysterectomy was safely completed, and hernia repair followed. To our knowledge, only limited reports have described this approach in robotic surgery. This case highlights the technical feasibility of using an umbilical hernia for robotic port placement, though careful postoperative monitoring is warranted due to the risk of recurrence without mesh repair.
