Clinicopathological characteristics of De Garengeot hernia: six case reports and literature review.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2021. 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
backgroundDe Garengeot hernia, wherein the appendix is present within a femoral hernia, is a rare disease; therefore, the clinicopathological features remain to be clarified. This study aimed to reveal the clinicopathological characteristics of De Garengeot hernia. CASE PRESENTATION: Six patients who underwent appendectomy and herniorrhaphy between 1999 and 2018 were included. The incidence of De Garengeot hernia was 3.2% among the 182 femoral hernias that required surgery during the study period. The median age of the patients was 78 years, and five patients were women. The median body mass index was 20.1. Patients frequently had fever or elevated CRP level. Preoperative diagnoses based on computed tomography were femoral (n = 3), inguinal (n = 2), and De Garengeot (n = 1) hernias. Emergency and elective surgeries were performed in four and two patients, respectively. Histopathological examination of the resected appendix showed gangrenous appendicitis (n = 3), perforated appendicitis (n = 2), and appendiceal ischemia (n = 1) in the patients. Postoperatively, one patient developed sepsis.
conclusionsPreoperative diagnosis of De Garengeot hernia is often difficult, and patients frequently have severe appendicitis. Precise diagnosis is required, and emergency surgery should be considered depending on the severity of appendicitis.
