1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

BACKGROUND Lumbar hernias continue to be rare and challenging regarding optimal treatment protocols. While computed tomography scan is considered the best imaging modality for assessment, we think there is a role for ultrasound in establishing a diagnosis seeking proper management and avoiding complications. CASE REPORT We present the case of an 84-year-old Saudi female who was known to have multiple chronic illnesses with bilateral flank swellings that were diagnosed as bilateral noncomplicated lumbar hernias which was treated conservatively with no complications. CONCLUSIONS Since the reported case is rarely encountered by surgeons, a low threshold to diagnosis is required. Finally, there is no consensus on management, and further studies to further investigate lumbar hernias are needed.
