Post-trauma transmesocolic hernia: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The prevalence of transmesocolic hernias, a subtype of internal hernias (IHs), is generally low. Its clinical consequences, including strangulation, ischemia and even death, however, necessitate awareness. IHs are classified as congenital or acquired as resulting from surgery, trauma or intraperitoneal inflammation. This is a case of a 37-year-old male victim of a motor vehicle collision 1 month prior to the index admission. The trauma-related injuries were managed conservatively and then discharged home. The patient was re-admitted with a 2-day history of epigastric pain, vomiting and abdominal distension. A diagnosis of small bowel obstruction due to a transmesocolic hernia was made on CT and emergency laparotomy performed. The post-operative course was unremarkable. It is vital to consider transmesocolic hernias in trauma patients presenting with a picture of bowel obstruction even in the absence of prior surgery.
