Postoperative outcome analysis of left-sided idiopathic diaphragmatic hernia: a case report.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Diaphragmatic hernia of an idiopathic cause is a rare pathology that occurs due to absence of any trauma or congenital cause. The aim of the study was to report a case of left-sided diaphragmatic hernia without traumatic aetiology. A 59-year-old male had complained of epigastric pain, vomiting, nausea, and breathing difficulties for the past 15 days. After investigations and diagnosis of the condition, the patient subsequently underwent laparotomy surgery to repair the defect. Outcome measures like FIM, NPRS, Incentive Spirometry, ICU-MS, CPaX, and HADS were used to assess the recovery of the patient. Surgical management of the condition was achieved, but to bring the patient back to his pre-pathology life without signs of breathlessness, and fatigue, a comprehensively designed physiotherapy rehabilitation is very beneficial. Our case report is the first-ever report made on physiotherapy management of diaphragmatic hernia after surgery. Tele-rehabilitation had been absolutely vital in patient follow-up.
