Robotic Excision of a Canal of Nuck Cyst During Bilateral Inguinal and Left Femoral Hernia Repair: 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. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Robotic surgery has become the preferred approach in many surgical procedures due to advantages involving reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery time, and enhanced dexterity. Here, we describe the case of a 62-year-old woman with an unremarkable past medical history who presented with painful swelling in the right inguinal region for two months. Ultrasonography revealed a well-circumscribed, fluid-filled ovoid structure with a small narrow neck extending superiorly within the right inguinal canal, consistent with a canal of Nuck cyst. This case report describes, to the best of our knowledge, the first preoperatively diagnosed canal of Nuck cyst and concurrent bilateral inguinal and femoral hernia repair resected robotically and highlights the feasibility of adopting a robotic versus a laparoscopic approach.
