A rare presentation of Morgagni hernia in an adult with strangulated ileum: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionCongenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) occurs in 1/2500 new-borns. Morgagni hernia (MH) is a very rare type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia found in the anterior aspect of the diaphragm between the costal and sternal portions of the muscle. It accounts for approximately 3 % of all diaphragmatic hernias. Most of these hernias are recognised and treated in childhood however, a very small portion present in adults. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a 30 year old female who presented with intestinal obstruction and was found to have a MH with strangulated ileum at operation. Strangulated ileum was resected, primary anastomosis done and suture repair of the defect done.
conclusionMH can present in adulthood and should be considered as a deferential diagnosis among patients presenting with mechanical intestinal obstruction with no obvious cause.
