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
introductionA Spigelian hernia is a rare type of abdominal wall hernia occurring in an area of congenital or acquired defect. These hernias occur in an area called the Spigelian zone and are interparietal making for a difficult diagnosis on clinical exam. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 74-year-old female presenting with bilateral inguinal herniae and a left sided Spigelian hernia. The repair was done laparoscopically with an intra-corporeal suture closing the Spigelian hernia neck. Her recovery was uneventful. DISCUSSION: The aetiology of Spigelian herniae remains nebulous. Due to their rarity and evasive nature on clinical exam, ultrasound imaging has become the first line in diagnosis. Open herniorrhaphy is still the most common technique, but laparoscopic repair is becoming more commonplace in the surgical armamentarium.
conclusionSpigelian herniae are rare with non specific symptoms. We present the first case report of a laparoscopic repair of bilateral inguinal herniae and a left sided Spigelian hernia with intra-corporeal suturing of the Spigelian hernia neck.
