Cyst and endometriosis of the canal of Nuck: rare differentials for a female groin mass.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2022. 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
Cyst of the canal of Nuck is a rare abnormality of the female inguinal canal that can present similarly to a hernia. If incompletely obliterated, the patent canal of Nuck may predispose to an inguinal hernia or hydrocele due to direct communication with the abdominal cavity. Such defects are normally detected and repaired in early childhood but can also present later in adult life. We report the case of a 44-year-old woman who presents with a fluctuant, mobile and irreducible left-sided groin mass. Ultrasound of the groin identified a cystic structure in the canal of Nuck. The patient underwent successful open herniorrhaphy with excision of the cyst and mesh repair of the inguinal canal. Subsequent histopathological examination also revealed concurrent endometriosis of the canal of Nuck. A systematic approach to differential diagnoses for a female groin mass, further investigations and management are discussed.
