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

The canal of Nuck is the female equivalent to the male processus vaginalis. Due to its rarity and the lack of awareness among physicians, a cyst in the canal of Nuck is a seldom-encountered entity in clinical practice and is commonly misdiagnosed. We report on a case of 42-year-old woman who presented with a painful swelling at her right groin and skin hypertrophy of the abdomen. The patient underwent successful open herniorrhaphy with excision of the cyst and mesh repair of the inguinal canal. The results were excellent both in the aesthetic and functional terms. In 1 month, there was a complete recovery with a return to social life. The 3-month healing score was 3 of 13 on the Vancouver Scar Scale. The technique is effective and reproducible. The patient's aesthetic and functional outcomes were excellent. In the following 6 months of follow-up, there were no recurrences or late complications.
