Incarcerated paraoesophageal hernia complicated with distal oesophageal perforation: a combined laparoscopic and endoscopic approach.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Paraoesophageal hernias are common, but symptoms are not always present nor pathognomonic of this condition, and patients may be suffering for many years before a diagnosis is made. Incarceration and strangulation are rare, but they are life-threatening complications, warranting an emergent surgical repair. Hiatal hernia incarceration causing distal oesophagus perforation is even rarer. To our knowledge, this is the first case report in adult patients. Despite many advances in care, a high grade of suspicion is needed to diagnose this condition, and the mortality rate for an oesophageal perforation remains high, achieving 50% in some series. We present the surgical management of a case of hiatal hernia incarceration with distal oesophagus perforation by combined laparoscopy and upper endoscopy.
