Morgagni Hernia: A Rare Presentation in a Young Adult.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Morgagni hernia is the rarest diaphragmatic hernia, occurring in only about 2% of all cases. Despite its infrequent presentation, it poses significant morbidity once the diagnosis is missed. We present a rare case of a young adult female with no predisposing factors who experienced dyspnea and retrosternal pain with unremarkable clinical findings. A posteroanterior view of the chest roentgenogram revealed a nonspecific triangular opacity at the right cardiophrenic angle. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the thorax confirmed the suspicion of a right anteromedial diaphragmatic defect with omental herniation. Exploratory laparoscopic primary repair of the hernia orifice was performed with non-absorbable sutures. CT helps in confirming the condition, and surgical repair is recommended. Morgagni hernia can present as asymptomatic or with respiratory symptoms. There is no consensus on the type of approach, but a minimally invasive approach is being preferred even in asymptomatic cases.
