Emergency robotic-assisted repair in an elderly patient with strangulated hernia and active influenza A infection: A case report.
Article in World journal of virology, 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
backgroundEmergency repair of strangulated hernias in elderly patients with active respiratory viral infections is high risk and poorly described. This case reports the first emergency robotic-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal (r-TAPP) repair performed in an elderly patient with active influenza A infection, highlighting surgical and infection-control adaptations enabling safe outcomes. CASE SUMMARY: An 80-year-old male with significant comorbidities presented with a strangulated left inguinal hernia and confirmed influenza A (H3N2) infection, associated with abdominal pain, bowel obstruction, and mild hypoxaemia. Emergency robotic r-TAPP repair was performed using targeted modifications, including ultra-low-pressure pneumoperitoneum, ultra-low particulate air filtration, and lung-protective ventilation. Operative time was 85 minutes with minimal blood loss. The patient was extubated immediately postoperatively, experienced no complications, and was discharged on postoperative day two. Antiviral therapy was continued without respiratory deterioration or nosocomial transmission.
conclusionEmergency robotic-assisted repair of strangulated hernia can be safely performed in selected elderly patients with active respiratory viral infection when appropriate surgical, anaesthetic, and infection-control strategies are applied.
