Laparoscopic assisted repair of strangulated obturator hernia-Way to go.
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 10 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
introductionObturator hernias are a rare subtype of intra-abdominal hernias that present with considerable challenges in both diagnosis and surgical repair. Delays in diagnosis and management significantly increases the Morbidity and Mortality. PRESENTATION OF CASE: An elderly 70-year-old female presented with Lower abdominal pain radiating to the medial side of the left leg over a year that has become persistent and continuous over the 3 day period. Patient was found to have a Richter's type of strangulated obturator hernia on diagnostic laparoscopy. A laparoscopic assisted resection of the strangulated small bowel and repair of the Hernia was performed. Postoperatively patient had an uneventful recovery. DISCUSSION: Surgical treatment is the standard of care for an obturator Hernia. Increasing number of laparoscopic repairs are being performed in the recent past. Minilaparotomy greatly facilitates the resection and anastomosis of a dead bowel without jeopardizing cosmesis and mesh placement at the time of repair.
conclusionHeightened awareness of the condition combined with our proposition of a Hybrid repair achieves optimal results in an emergency setting. A Laparoscopic assisted repair of a strangulated hernia provides a durable repair and at the same time offers the patient benefits of minimally invasive surgery.
