Thoracoscopic repair of iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia following multiple abdominal surgeries: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2023. 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
Iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia (IDH) is a rare complication that has been reported after various interventions, including liver transplantation, liver resection and nephrectomy. A surgical procedure for IDH has not been optimized. A 56-year-old man presented to our hospital with a 1-week history of abdominal pain and nausea. His medical history included an open nephrectomy for renal cancer 8 years ago and open distal pancreatectomy for its recurrence 1.5 years ago. Enhanced computed tomography showed IDH with the fornix of the stomach herniating to the left pleural cavity, without radiographic signs of strangulation. His symptoms improved after gastric decompression with nasogastric tube placement, and he underwent elective surgery. The incarcerated stomach was repositioned, and the hernia orifice was closed and reinforced with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene mesh using a thoracoscopic procedure. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course. The operative procedure for IDH should be tailored depending on anatomical alternations after previous surgeries.
