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
Obturator hernia is an extremely rare type of pelvic hernia with relatively high mortality and morbidity due to delayed diagnosis. Most cases present with acute intestinal obstruction and typically affect elderly, emaciated females. A high index of suspicion is required for early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention. We present a rare case of an 81-year-old female who was initially discharged from the emergency department due to nonspecific symptoms. She represented with clinical features of bowel obstruction and was diagnosed preoperatively with computed tomography imaging identifying a left-sided obturator hernia with a loop of bowel extending through the obturator canal. She was taken to theater for lower midline laparotomy and repair of obturator hernia. Although many cases are identified intraoperatively, we will discuss preoperative means of diagnosis of obturator hernia from examination findings to imaging diagnosis.
