Bochdalek hernia in an adult: two case reports and a review of perioperative cardiopulmonary complications.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundBochdalek hernia in an adult is very rare and often needs an immediate surgical repair for the herniation. Although its etiology and surgical techniques have frequently been reported, perioperative complications, especially cardiopulmonary problems, remain unknown. We reported two adults with Bochdalek hernia and reviewed the published literatures with a focus on these issues. CASE PRESENTATION: We experienced two adult cases of Bochdalek hernia with gastrointestinal strangulation. One case had massive herniation of the stomach, colon, spleen, and pancreas in the left chest, causing repeated vomiting. The other had a right-side hernia with strangulation of the colon. We successfully performed emergency repairs of these diaphragmatic hernias without any postoperative complications.
conclusionsOur literature review revealed that life-threatening cardiopulmonary complications, such as empyema or cardiac arrest caused by the tamponade effect of the herniated viscera, sometimes occurred in patients with Bochdalek hernia. These complications were found in Bochdalek hernia with gastrointestinal strangulation.
