Robotic preperitoneal lateral hernia repair: technical tips and pitfalls.

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
backgroundLateral hernias are uncommon abdominal wall defects that pose significant surgical challenges due to their unique anatomy and limited published data guiding repair methods. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and short-term outcomes of a robotic assisted minimally invasive approach for lateral hernia repair.
methodsA single-institution, retrospective case series was conducted with 15 patients who underwent robotic preperitoneal lateral hernia repair. Demographics, operative considerations, and short-term outcomes were recorded and analyzed.
resultsThe median age was 65 years, 73% were females (n = 11), and median body mass index was 29 kg/m
conclusionsOur case series of 15 patients indicates robotic-assisted lateral hernia repair as a feasible approach with acceptable short and mid-term outcomes, though interpretation is limited by small sample size and variable follow-up. Preoperative imaging and in-depth knowledge of lateral anatomy proved essential for optimizing outcomes.
