Transthoracic robot-assisted minimally invasive diaphragmatic rupture repair: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 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
backgroundNontraumatic diaphragmatic rupture is a rare condition with clinical presentations ranging from asymptomatic to severe respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms. Owing to its nonspecific nature, it can be difficult to differentiate from other diaphragmatic disorders. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a 35-year-old German woman with a right-sided nontraumatic diaphragmatic rupture, presenting with recurrent hypertensive crises and acute dyspnea. Although initially misdiagnosed, further clinical and radiological evaluations suggestive of diaphragmatic elevation led to the decision to proceed with robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
conclusionThis case underscores the diagnostic challenges of non-traumatic diaphragmatic rupture, especially in complex clinical scenarios. It highlights the importance of thorough clinical assessment, appropriate imaging, and timely surgical intervention. Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery proved to be a safe and effective therapeutic option and should be considered in select cases where conventional diagnostics fail to provide definitive answers.
