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

introductionType IV paraesophageal hernias (PEHs) have been rarely reported in the literature. Transverse colon is the most common viscus to herniate in this category. PRESENTATION OF CASE: Herein we present a case with an emergent admission of a 66 year old man with type IV PEH with small intestine into the hernia sac. DISCUSSION: The diagnosis of PEHs can be challenging due to their extremely low incidence and the non-specific symptoms and can be easily missed from the initial differential diagnosis.

conclusionIn this case, the hernia was diagnosed early and managed successfully with an immediate laparotomy.
