Diaphragmatic Hernia Presenting as Acute Gastric Outlet Obstruction: A Rare Complication of Left Lower Lobectomy.
Article in Cureus, 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
Diaphragmatic hernia is defined as the prolapse of abdominal contents into the thoracic cavity through a defect in the diaphragm that is either congenital or acquired. Acquired hernias are common in adults and frequently occur as the result of trauma, either iatrogenic or non-iatrogenic. Iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia is a rare complication of patient-related treatment maneuvers/procedures. The rate of late presentations of an iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia is disparate, ranging from 5 to 62%. Iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia after pulmonary resection is extremely rare with only two case reports published worldwide so far. In this report, we discuss the case of a young male presenting several years after undergoing left lower lobectomy with signs and symptoms of acute gastric outlet obstruction.
