"Bulb-like" sign: Small bowel closed loop obstruction in incarcerated Spigelian hernia.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
A Spigelian hernia is a rare hernia, making up approximately 0.1% of all abdominal wall hernias. This hernia goes through a defect in the Spigelian fascia which is the part of the transversus abdominis aponeurosis lateral to the rectus muscle, often at the level of the arcuate line, where the fascia is widest and weakest. Clinical diagnosis is difficult in patients without obvious abdominal mass but imaging can be a valuable adjunct in diagnosis. We report the case of a 64-year-old male who presented to our hospital with small bowel obstruction secondary to an incarcerated Spigelian hernia who was pre-operatively diagnosed with ultrasound and computed tomography. At ultrasound and computed tomography a closed loop obstruction in a Spigelian Hernia was detected, resembling on both imaging modalities a "bulb-like" appearance.
