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
Internal hernia of the small bowel is a rare finding especially in previously non-operated abdomen. Such a hernia occurring due to involvement of appendices epiploicae is an even rare instance with less than five reported cases in the literature. We encountered a 75-year-old male who had internal herniation of small bowel through an aperture created by adhesion between two appendices epiploicae in a previously virgin abdomen. Laparotomy and division of adhesion was performed to manage him successfully. Even in a virgin abdomen, a high index of suspicion along with early intervention is the key to reduction in mortality and morbidity in cases intestinal obstruction.
