Amyand's hernia associated with mesenteric chylous cyst in infant: a rare case report.
Article in BMC surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundAmyand's hernia is a rare condition approximately 0.4-0.6% of all inguinal hernias. Although rare, the Amyand's hernia is worthy of discussion since the variable presentation that make clinical challenge to diagnose especially in infant. A mesenteric chylous cyst is rare disease and has not been reported in Amyand's hernia. CASE PRESENTATION: We report an unusual case of Type II Amyand's hernia with an enlarging chylous mesenteric cyst on the retrocaecal in the anulus into canalis inguinalis. A-2-months old infant presented with enlarging mass in the right scrotal. During laparotomy exploration, we found inguinal sac with intestinal and appendix content in the sac. In the edge site of the sac we found enlarging of mesenteric cyst on the retrocaecal in the anulus into canalis inguinalis. Based on the histopathology examination, the morphological feature is suitable for mesenteric chylous cyst appearance.
conclusionPresentation of mesenteric chylous cyst is rare, and there was no report about it in Amyand's hernia. This unusual presentation should be considered by the surgeon, especially pediatric surgeon, in Amyand's hernia cases.
