Strangulated Amyand's hernia: management during the COVID-19 pandemic.

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
Amyand's hernia, presence of the appendix within an inguinal hernial sac, is a rare condition. We report a case of a 68-year-old woman who presented during the COVID-19 pandemic with an acute right groin pain due to a tender incarcerated inguinal hernia. Cross-sectional imaging confirmed an Amyand's hernia. She proceeded to open appendectomy via the inguinal canal and primary suture repair of her inguinal hernia. Patient was discharged the following day. Surgical management of Amyand's hernia varies depending on the resources, clinical findings and personal experience. In our opinion and experience, open hernia reduction, appendectomy and primary tissue repair repairs the most effective and appropriate approach especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
