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

Inguinal bladder herniation (IBH) is an uncommon case, observed in only 1-5 % of all inguinal hernias. Obesity, the elderly, gender, and previous operations are vigorous determinants for IBHs. Symptoms depend on the size of the hernia. We report a case of an obese male aged 40 presenting with a bulge increasing gradually in the right groin with a history of two-stage micturition (Mery's sign). With imaging-assisted diagnosis modalities (US, CT, and MRI), the patient was diagnosed with IBH. Although IBH is not common, it should always be suspected in patients with Mery's sign and predisposing factors.
