1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Port-site hernia is a rare but serious complication that can occur after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and requires surgical repair. Case Presentation: In 2024, we experienced two cases of port-site hernia after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. In response, we developed a preventive technique to reduce the risk of port-site hernia. Here, we present one of the two cases of port-site hernia after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and a case in which port-site hernia did not occur after receiving the new preventive technique. We also describe the preventive method currently employed at our institution, where an anti-adhesion agent is applied to the removal site of a 12-mm port and closure suture involves fascia without peritoneum. This technique is simple, safe, and applicable to all patients. Conclusion: We developed a new and simple procedure to prevent port-site hernia based on our experience. Our method may have the potential to effectively prevent its occurrence.
