Transmesenteric hernia with two mesenteric defects in an adult.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Transmesenteric hernia is a rare cause of small bowel strangulation in adults and, to our knowledge, no one has reported the existence of two mesenteric defects in an adult. Our patient was a 73-year-old Japanese woman who presented to our emergency department complaining of abdominal pain and nausea. Computed tomography with contrast enhancement revealed a closed loop obstruction in the pelvis, suggesting small bowel strangulation due to an internal hernia. The emergency exploratory laparotomy indicated a small bowel strangulation caused by a transmesenteric hernia. With the examination across whole parts of the mesentery, we identified another small defect. Both defects were closed by suture intraoperatively, and the patient's postoperative course was satisfactory. Searching for whole parts of the mesentery after the reduction of a hernia can help prevent the recurrence of internal hernias.
