Laparoscopic repair of a peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia after a convergent procedure for the treatment of atrial fibrillation.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia is a rare entity involving herniation of abdominal viscera through the diaphragm into the pericardial sac. It is most often seen after blunt abdominal trauma, but can occur following any trans-diaphragmatic intervention. We report on a 56-year-old female with peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia secondary to a convergent procedure for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, who underwent a laparoscopic repair. An anterior abdominal wall laparoscopic approach was employed. Transverse colon and greater omentum were within the hernia sac. The defect measuring 3 cm × 3 cm was repaired using a composite hernia mesh. The total operative time was 78 minutes. No intra-operative and no post-operative complications were observed. Patient remained asymptomatic at a 6-month follow-up. Laparoscopic mesh repair of peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia is safe, feasible and is the procedure of choice for treating these complex hernias.
