Laparoscopic repair of Morgagni hernia by artificial pericardium patch in an adult obese patient.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundMorgagni hernia is a kind of rare congenital diaphragmatic hernia. We reported a case of Morgagni hernia repaired successfully with artificial pericardium patch via the laparoscopic approach.
methodsThe patient was admitted with a 3-month history of postprandial nausea and vomiting, and accompanied by epigastric pain. Computed tomography (CT) scans showed a large anteromedial diaphragmatic hernia. The hernial contents were reduced back into the abdominal cavity and the diaphragmatic defect was repaired with artificial pericardium patch by laparoscopic intracorporeal suture.
resultsWe achieved satisfactory intracorporeal repair of this large diaphragmatic defect. The patient had excellent recovery and started on oral diet on the first postoperative day, and then was discharged just two days after operation.
conclusionsThe minimally invasive advantage of laparoscopic approach offers a secure, reliable and satisfactory way to confirm the diagnosis and achieve the repair of non-complicated Morgagni hernia.
