1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 De Garengeot hernia is a rare type of femoral hernia that involves a vermiform appendix within a femoral hernia sac. Because of the rarity of this disease, a standard surgical procedure has not been established, and most cases are diagnosed intraoperatively. Preoperative diagnosis of a De Garengeot hernia is quite difficult. Computed tomography is the most sensitive and specific technique among the available imaging tests for preoperative diagnosis of a De Garengeot hernia. Although a standard surgical procedure is lacking, prompt surgery has become the consensus. The most common procedure is the open anterior approach; this allows exploration of the hernia sac and rapid treatment of its contents, routine appendectomy through a single incision, and preperitoneal repair of the femoral hernia.
