1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

An abdominal wall pseudohernia is a rare clinical entity which consists of an abnormal bulging of the abdominal wall that can resemble a true hernia, but without an associated underlying fascial or muscle defect. It is caused by segmental neuropathy and subsequent denervation of abdominal wall musculature. We present two cases of an abdominal wall pseudohernia. One secondary to a thoracic extraforaminal disc herniation in a 57-year-old male, which, as far as the authors are aware, has not been described previously. The other in a 67 year old male due to right foraminal and paracentral disc protrusion at T9/10.
