Morgagni hernia: an uncommon pathology in adults.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Typically, diaphragmatic hernias occur as congenital defects and are considered a rare presentation when seen in adults. They occur as developmental defects and stem from embryonic components of the diaphragm not fusing completely. There are two types of diaphragmatic hernias, classified based on the location of herniation through the diaphragmatic defect. Bochdalek hernias present as defects in the left postero-lateral diaphragm, whereas Morgagni hernias present as anterior defects of the diaphragm. The more common defect of the two are Bochdalek hernias making Morgagni hernias a rare presentation. This case describes the presentation of a hernia through an anterior defect in the diaphragm, otherwise classified as a Morgagni hernia.
