Ileal Obstruction Secondary to Internal Hernia Under the External Iliac Artery: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Bowel obstruction is one of the most common causes of surgical admission. Most of these patients are managed with non-operative management, often resolving 24 to 48 hours after admission. If conservative management fails in patients with adhesional bowel obstruction, surgery is usually the only other option. Surgery often involves the division of adhesions and resection of the non-viable intestine. Occasionally, unexpected findings require quick but safe interventions, including discussions with other specialities. This report presents a patient who had previously undergone robotic radical cystectomy, pelvic lymphadenectomy and ileal conduit formation. He was admitted with bowel obstruction and failed conservative management. During laparotomy, a loop of ileum had herniated under the right external iliac artery and was ischaemic necessitating resection-anastomosis. We discuss the management of this patient and the available literature regarding this rare presentation.
