Inguinoscrotal hernias containing stomach: risk of emergency presentation.
Synthesis in Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionInguinoscrotal hernias are the commonest form of abdominal wall hernia, but for them to contain stomach is extremely rare. The management of these hernias can be very challenging owing to their acute nature of presentation and distortion of anatomy. Our aim was to systematically review the literature for all reported cases of inguinoscrotal hernias containing stomach. In turn we analysed patient demographics, site of hernia, presentation and treatment. Outcomes were reviewed where available.
methodWe conducted a systematic search of the PUBMED, Embase and Medline databases with a combination of keywords:
resultsThere were 20 case reports included in the review, plus the author's own case. They ranged in publication date from 1942 to 2020. Mean age at presentation was 71 years (range 49 to 87). All cases were male. In total, 62% (
conclusionStomach as a content of inguinoscrotal hernias is extremely rare. These hernias predominantly present acutely in the form of GOO or gastric perforation. All patients with gastric perforation will require a midline laparotomy. Patients with GOO can be successfully managed either surgically or in selective cases with conservative management.
