Incidental Morgagni hernia found during laparoscopic repair of hiatal hernia: Case report & review of literature.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
introductionMorgagni hernia is rare clinical entity accounting for 3% of all surgically treated diaphragmatic hernias. Similarly, paraesophageal hernia constitutes only 5% of all hiatal hernia. The co-existing of these two hernias is extremely rare with only 10 cases reported in the literature. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We present a case of 53-year-old female patient with 6-year history of reflux disease. Her symptoms were poorly controlled by medications and she was seeking a surgical treatment. Preoperative assessment revealed a giant paraesophageal hernia for which a laparoscopic repair was planned. During the surgery, left-sided Morgagni hernia was discovered and both hernias were repaired at the same time. The patient tolerated the procedure well without complications.
conclusionThe co-existence of Morgagni and Hiatal hernia is rare and the simultaneously laparoscopic repair of both hernias is safe and feasible.
