1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A Spigelian hernia is a very rare type of anterior abdominal wall hernia. The etiology revolves around the dehiscence of the transverse abdominis and internal oblique aponeurosis. The majority of Spigelian hernias develop in the lower abdomen where the posterior sheath is absent. This condition is also known as a spontaneous lateral ventral hernia or hernia of the semilunar line. It is mostly asymptomatic and is generally proven by radiological diagnosis. In the worst-case scenario, strangulation of the Spigelian hernia can occur. Here, we report a case series of contrasting presentations of Spigelian hernia in a single surgical unit of a tertiary healthcare center, considering the rarity and associated complications of Spigelian hernia.
