Transmesenteric hernia with closed-loop small bowel obstruction: A case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundTransmesenteric hernia is a subtype of internal abdominal hernia (IAH) and a rare cause of small bowel obstruction in adults. Difficulty in reaching a definitive diagnosis due to non-specific clinical and imaging findings often cause life-threatening bowel ischemia. CASE REPORT: We report a case of a 37-year-old female who presented with clinical and imaging features of small bowel obstruction. She underwent an emergency laparotomy where the diagnosis of transmesenteric hernia causing closed-loop obstruction was made. The non-viable portion of the intestine was resected, anastomosis of the ileum along with the closure of the mesenteric defect was performed. DISCUSSION: IAH is the protrusion of abdominal viscera, most commonly small bowel loops through a peritoneal or mesenteric defect into the abdominal or pelvic cavity. Considered common in children, it is rare in adults and is most common after abdominal surgeries like Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Clinical features and imaging findings are non-specific causing delay in the diagnosis.
conclusionA high index of suspicion is required while assessing the patient with symptoms suggestive of acute bowel obstruction as the preoperative diagnosis of a transmesenteric hernia is challenging.
