Laparoscopic Repair of an Acute Traumatic Diaphragmatic Hernia: Clinical Case.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture is uncommon, life threatening and remains a diagnostic and radiographic challenge. Diagnosis is frequently delayed, which may result in a late intervention with a potential catastrophic outcome. We report a case of an acute diaphragmatic laceration in a 40-year-old woman, with a personal history of bipolar disease, admitted on the emergency department after falling from a nine-meter building. During initial evaluation, the plain chest radiograph showed multiple rib fractures associated with a significant left pneumothorax. It also showed an elevated left diaphragm with a suspicious gastric shadow in the left hemithorax. Computed tomography confirmed the diagnosis of a left-sided diaphragmatic laceration and the patient was advised surgical intervention. During laparoscopy, a 7 cm rupture of the left hemi-diaphragm with herniation of the stomach was identified. The hernia was reduced laparoscopically and the defect repaired with interrupted, non-absorbable, sutures. The patient had an uneventful recovery and remained well at a 3-month follow-up visit. Emergency repair of the diaphragm is usually performed via a thoracotomy or/and laparotomy. However, if the patient is hemodynamically stable and major organ injuries have been excluded, a laparoscopic approach can be considered safe and effective.
