Acute Delirium Post-inguinal Hernia Mesh Repair in a 40-Year-Old Male: An Unusual Case of Cystocerebral Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Acute urinary retention is a known complication of inguinal hernia repair. However, the development of severe agitation and delirium as a result of acute urinary retention following inguinal hernia repair is less commonly reported. Here, we present the case of a 40-year-old male with no relevant medical history who underwent open mesh hernia repair for an uncomplicated left-sided indirect inguinal hernia. Postoperatively, the patient became hypertensive, delirious, and violent. He was found to have urinary retention on a bladder scan. Urgent intervention with catheterization and bladder decompression resulted in the prompt resolution of the patient's symptoms. The patient regained his senses and did not remember the events that led to it. This case highlights the importance of recognizing and managing acute urinary retention to prevent the development of severe agitation and delirium following spinal anesthesia. Further research and awareness are necessary to better understand the underlying neurovisceral mechanisms and optimize preventive strategies.
