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

introductionBochdalek hernias are a type of diaphragm hernia. Almost all occur in the neonatal period, only 5% of these hernias occurring in adults. We here present a rare case of adult Bochdalek hernia incarcerated in the extra-pleural space. PRESENTATION OF CASE: An asymptomatic 51-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for a detailed examination after an abnormality had been detected on a chest radiograph. Chest computed tomography (CT) examination revealed findings consistent with a left Bochdalek hernia, which we repaied surgically. Intraoperatively, retroperitoneal fatty tissue was found to be incarcerated in the extra-pleural space. Thus, surgical repair required dissection of the parietal pleura and excision of the incarcerated fatty tissues. DISCUSSION: The incarceration of the Bochdalek hernia in the extra-pleural space could not be identified on a preoperative chest CT examination. To the best of our knowledge, no reports of incarceration of a Bochdalek hernia in the extra-pleural space have been published; thus, this phenomenon is extremely rare.

conclusionSurgical treatment of a Bochdalek hernia incarcerated in the extra-pleural space requires dissection of the parietal pleura and repair via a transthoracic approach.
