Primary Grynfeltt Lumbar Hernia: A Case Report.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 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
A weakening or defect in posterolateral abdominal wall can lead to development of lumbar hernia. These defects are particularly common in Petit's inferior triangle or Grynfeltt-Lesshaft superior triangle. There are very few cases of primary lumbar hernias that have been described in literature till date. As it is a rare entity, it is often misdiagnosed, leading to delay in management. We present a case of a 66-year-old male with no previous surgery who presented with a mass in left lumbar region for last ten years. The mass gradually increased in size and caused vague dragging pain. On Computed tomography, the diagnosis of Grynfeltt hernia was made. The patient underwent a laparoscopic mesh repair and had an uneventful postoperative hospital stay. Although a rare entity, there should be a high degree of suspicion of a lumbar hernia when evaluating a case of a lumbar mass. Early diagnosis by computed tomography and management with open or minimally invasive techniques can prevent complications.
