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
Appendix epiploica without a colon in the hernia sac is a rare condition, which is even rarer if it has hypertrophy and presents as an irreducible hernia. We describe a case of appendix epiploica in a 37-year-old male patient with a strangulated right inguinal hernia that was herniated to the right inguinal canal. Considering the superiority of laparoscopy to open technique for viewing the hernia contents, we planned laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal surgery. In the exploration, an indirect hernia was observed in the right groin. Inside was the strangulated appendages epiploica, which extended from the sigmoid colon wall. Anterior wall inguinal hernioplasty was performed. In conclusion, it should not be ignored that there may be appendix epiploica within the hernia sac in inguinal hernias and laparoscopic approaches should be the treatment method of choice.
