Port-site hernia following laparoscopic gynecological surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica, 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
introductionPort-site hernia (PSH) is a rare but clinically relevant complication of laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. Despite the widespread adoption of minimally invasive techniques, no prior systematic review has comprehensively evaluated PSH incidence and risk factors in this population. MATERIAL AND
methodsA systematic review and meta-analysis were performed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and registered in PROSPERO (CRD42025649280). PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase were searched without language or date restrictions. Eligible studies included randomized or cohort designs reporting PSH incidence after laparoscopic gynecologic procedures. Pooled incidence was calculated using a random-effects model.
resultsTwenty-two studies comprising 70 346 patients were included. The overall pooled PSH incidence was 0.29% (95% CI: 0.00 to 0.02), with significant heterogeneity (I
conclusionsPSH following laparoscopic gynecologic surgery remains a rare but clinically significant occurrence. Surgical technique, particularly trocar size selection and fascial closure, plays a decisive role in risk reduction. Attention to modifiable intraoperative factors is crucial for optimizing patient safety and preventing postoperative hernia formation.
