Left diaphragmatic hernia after a mild blunt trauma in Syria: a case report.

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
Left side traumatic diaphragmatic hernias (DH) are very rare and usually present acutely. They might represent after years of minor trauma, and they should be considered among differentials to avoid complications. We present a 28-year-old female coming with acute epigastric pain radiating into the chest with dyspnea and vomiting. Her history was negative for trauma and other than very minor trauma two years earlier. Chest X-ray showed atelectasis with mild pleural effusion. Computed tomography scan showed several cavities, filling the left chest with a gaseous liquid level. Surgery was performed that demonstrated DH and the abdominal viscera were returned to the abdomen without any complications. Traumatic DHs can be easily overlooked with the absent of recent major trauma. They can represent years after the original trauma with acute symptoms, which can make it hard to diagnosis if not considered.
