A rare case of ascending colon adenocarcinoma incarcerated in an inguinoscrotal hernia: case report and literature review.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundInguinal hernias and colorectal cancers are common conditions, but the presentation of a loop of bowel containing cancer within a hernia is rare. Principles of surgery include oncological resection of the involved colonic segment as well as lymphatic drainage. Based on case reports of the last several decades, there have been no reports of a case where the reduction of an inguinoscrotal hernia and oncological colectomy were performed completely laparoscopically. We present the first instance of a completely laparoscopically assisted resection and hernia repair on a patient with T4 ascending colon cancer. A literature search on recent case reports over the last 30 years has also been presented with a focus on trends in treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: An 83-year-old man presented for further investigation of his iron deficiency anaemia and was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the ascending colon. This was demonstrated radiologically to be found within a large right inguinoscrotal hernia. He underwent a laparoscopically assisted right hemicolectomy and laparoscopic closure of the internal ring and recovered well.
conclusionsColorectal cancers within inguinal hernias are rare and can often present with complications such as perforation. As such, treatment has mostly involved an open operation. The last few years have shown feasibility of a laparoscopic approach and can be attempted safely when indicated.
