Transverse mesocolic hernia with intestinal obstruction as a rare cause of acute abdomen in adults: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 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
backgroundInternal hernia is a rare cause of acute abdomen and intestinal obstruction in adults. Internal abdominal hernias include paraduodenal, perigastric, foramen of Winslow, intersigmoid, and post-anastomotic hernias and can be congenital or acquired. Internal hernias occur in 1%-2% of patients, and transmesocolic hernias are extremely rare. This report presents a patient with a transverse mesocolic hernia with a preoperative diagnosis of small intestinal obstruction. CASE SUMMARY: A 45-year-old Chinese woman was admitted to the hospital with middle and upper abdominal pain for 2 d, abdominal distension, and vomiting. After abdominal computed tomography, she was diagnosed with an internal abdominal hernia complicated by small intestinal obstruction and underwent emergency laparoscopic surgery. The patient recovered well and was discharged 6 d postoperatively.
conclusionTransmesocolic hernias must be considered in adult patients with signs and symptoms of intestinal obstruction, even without a history of abdominal trauma or surgery.
