Appendicitis due to incarceration within a laparoscopic umbilical port-site hernia secondary to a degree of intestinal malrotation.
Article in Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 37-year-old woman presented with an incarcerated hernia at a previous umbilical laparoscopic port site. This was found to contain an ischaemic appendix, which was managed successfully with open appendicectomy and a mesh repair. Previous imaging from a year prior to these events demonstrated a degree of intestinal malrotation with the caecal pole lying just under the umbilicus. Finding the appendix within an incisional port site is very rare, for this to occur at the umbilicus is unique.
