Incarcerated Larrey hernia with small bowel obstruction: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introduction and importanceMorgagni-Larrey hernias (MLHs) are rare diaphragmatic hernias that can cause incarceration or strangulation of the hernia contents in some cases. Here we report a case of incarcerated Larrey hernia with small bowel obstruction, which was successfully treated with emergent laparoscopic surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: An 87-year-old woman presented to our hospital with abdominal pain and nausea. Computed tomography scan revealed an MLH comprising an obstructed intestinal loop. The patient underwent emergency laparoscopic surgery. Surgical findings showed incarceration of the small bowel on the left side of the falciform ligament. The small bowel was laparoscopically reduced and does not show signs of intestinal ischemia or perforation. The hernia orifice, which was approximately 15 mm in diameter, was closed with a surgical suture without the need for sac excision. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 7 without postoperative complications. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: There are no established surgical techniques for the treatment of MLH due to its rarity. Our experience in the present case suggests that the laparoscopic approach might be considered as a feasible method even for incarcerated MLH.
conclusionSurgical techniques for MLH should be selected on a case-by-case basis.
