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
Intersigmoid hernia is a rare form of internal hernia presenting with symptoms of bowel obstruction. A 32-year-old male visited the emergency department with chief complaint of abrupt onset of abdominal pain without any history of prior abdominal surgery. The initial abdominal X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scan exhibited mild distension of small bowel and paralytic ileus with no definitive obstruction site. However, a 12-h follow-up abdominal X-ray showed manifestations of newly appeared step-ladder sign and the CT scan displayed mechanical obstruction in the left lower quadrant area. Upon laparoscopic examination, herniation of small bowel was observed through the intersigmoid recess. Reduction was performed for about 5 cm of incarcerated ileum, and there was no sign of necrosis or lasting damage. The patient was discharged without complications. Laparoscopic management of intersigmoid hernia is possible with early surgical management of mechanical obstruction.
