Hydrocele of the Canal of Nuck: A Review.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Canal of Nuck abnormality is a rare surgical condition. The pathologies are mostly encountered in young girls, less than five years of age. The incidence is even less in adults. Various pathologic conditions related to the failure of processus vaginalis obliteration can occur, involving herniation of intraabdominal structures including intestinal and genital contents such as the uterus, fallopian tube, and ovary and hydrocele of the canal of Nuck. According to its rarity, hydrocele of canal of Nuck is often misdiagnosed for common groin masses. This review summarizes and simplifies embryology, the pathophysiology of the canal of Nuck abnormalities, imaging findings, and treatment options with emphasis on the hydrocele.
