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

Internal hernia is a rare and often overlooked cause of small bowel obstruction. We report a case of internal hernia with an orifice composed of epiploic fat, successfully diagnosed and treated by single-incision laparoscopic surgery. This is the second report of this type of internal hernia and the first reported case addressed laparoscopically. Although the use of laparoscopy for the treatment of small bowel obstruction is not firmly established today, it may be beneficial for both its diagnostic value and as a less invasive treatment.
