De Garengeot hernia masquerading as a painless groin lump: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical 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
De Garengeot's hernia is a rare subtype of femoral hernia in which the appendix is located within the herniated sac. These cases are important to report as both the diagnosis and treatment are quite challenging. We present a case of a 68-year-old gentleman with few months history of a lump in the right groin that gave him mild discomfort but no other symptoms. Initial investigations with an ultrasound did not prove to be helpful and so a plan was made to surgically explore the lump. The appendiceal tip was incarcerated within the hernial sac. The appendix was removed using an open inguinal incision with repair of the defect using a light weight partially absorbable mesh. It is important to consider the possibility of a De Garangeot's Hernia as a differential diagnosis for patients presenting with a groin lump.
