Delayed post-traumatic diaphragmatic rupture complicated by total hepato-thorax: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
introductionIntra-thoracic herniation of abdominal organs following diaphragmatic rupture represents an unusual clinical occurrence that poses great diagnostic difficulty. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a rare case of delayed total hepatothorax caused by a right sided post-traumatic diaphragmatic rupture in a 67 year old male. Reduction of the liver in the abdominal cavity and repair of the diaphragm was feasible via a thoraco-abdominal approach. Postoperative chest radiography showed normal position of the right diaphragmatic border. DISCUSSION: Characteristics of right diaphragmatic rupture and subsequent complications are reviewed with the aim to reinforce physicians' awareness of this uncommon clinical condition in order to establish a timely diagnosis and reduce the mortality related burden.
conclusionSurgeons should consider this entity in the differential diagnosis of injured patients experiencing sudden respiratory distress during hospitalization as well as days or months after discharge.
