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

Port-site hernia is a known complication of laparoscopic surgery, with risk influenced by several factors such as trocar diameter, abdominal wall location, and port-site enlargement for specimen extraction. Larger ports (≥10-12 mm) and umbilical or other midline sites demonstrate higher reported hernia rates, while patient factors such as obesity, smoking, diabetes, and advanced age may further increase risk. Numerous commercially available port-site closure devices have been developed to improve technical ease and consistency of fascial approximation, particularly in challenging patient populations. This review summarizes current evidence regarding risk factors for port-site hernia formation and provides a comprehensive catalog of currently available port-site fascial closure devices and their technical characteristics.
