Lateral single-port laparoscopic repair of primary ventral hernias via the plane posterior to the posterior rectus sheath : The world journal of hernia and abdominal wall surgery.

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
purposeLaparoscopic ventral hernia repair is widely practiced; however, the use of a lateral single-port approach to access the plane posterior to the posterior rectus sheath for primary ventral hernias is scarcely reported. This study explores this novel surgical plane and the relevant approach as an alternative for ventral hernia repair.
methodsDuring August 2025-February 2026, total extraperitoneal repair was performed in seven patients with primary ventral hernias using a lateral single-port approach in the plane posterior to the posterior rectus sheath.
resultsAll procedures were completed using the lateral single-port approach in the target plane. No conversions to open repair, intraperitoneal onlay mesh, or standard extended totally extraperitoneal techniques were required. There were no perioperative complications or early recurrences.
conclusionRepair of primary ventral hernias via the plane posterior to the posterior rectus sheath using a lateral single-port approach is a safe and feasible technique, albeit warranting a selective application by experienced surgeons.
