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

The caecum and appendix are uncommon contents of femoral hernia (Duari hernia). Diagnosis is usually intraoperative. We report a rare case of obstructed right femoral hernia in a 65-year-old woman. She was admitted into the accident and emergency department because of sudden irreducibility of a previously reducible right groin swelling of 5 years duration. She had obstructive symptoms with an irreducible right groin mass clinically diagnosed as obstructed right femoral hernia. A combination of infra-inguinal transverse incision and a lower midline laparotomy incision was used. The intraoperative findings included the herniation of the caecum and appendix into the right femoral canal. Patient had an uneventful recovery. Duari hernia is uncommon. A high index of suspicion and an experienced surgeon, who can handle uncommon findings should be involved in the management of obstructed femoral hernias. Funding: None declared.
