Inguinal ovarian hernia on point of care ultrasound: case reports and review of the literature.
Review in Emergency radiology, 2022. 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
An inguinal mass may be an incidental finding on physical examination. There are few descriptions of pediatric hernia with ovarian content in the pediatric emergency literature, and no recommendations for routine point of care ultrasound (POCUS) evaluation of inguinal hernia. We present three cases of ovarian content within an inguinal hernia sac found on POCUS by a pediatric emergency physician, and discuss ultrasound technique and implications of these findings. Inguinal masses should routinely be evaluated with POCUS in order to prevent forceful reduction efforts that may damage the ovary, and to allow for effective surgical triage and early involvement of surgical subspecialists.
