Minimally invasive, robotic-assisted resection of abdominal wall tumors: a case series.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Background: The surgical management of abdominal wall tumors poses a dual challenge: achieving oncologically sound resection while preserving abdominal wall integrity. Although traditionally approached via open surgery, robotic-assisted techniques offer promising advantages in selected patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and short-term outcomes of robotic-assisted resection of abdominal wall tumors confined to the musculofascial layer. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed five patients who underwent robotic-assisted resection of abdominal wall tumors at a tertiary center between January 2020 and April 2025. All resections were performed using the da Vinci Xi robotic system. Demographic, clinical, surgical, and postoperative data were collected and analyzed descriptively. Results: We included five patients (80% female) with a mean age of 56.8 years and mean BMI of 21.8 kg/m Conclusion: Robotic-assisted resection with or without simultaneous mesh-based reconstruction appears to be a safe and feasible minimally invasive strategy for treating abdominal wall tumors confined to the musculofascial layer. Further prospective studies with larger cohorts are warranted to validate these findings.
