Congenital Transmesenteric Hernia With Closed-Loop Small Bowel Obstruction and Intestinal Gangrene in an 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 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
Internal hernias (IHs) are defined as the protrusion of the intestine through an aperture in the peritoneal ligament, mesentery, or the omentum, without traversing the fascial planes and leading to encapsulation of the protruded intestine within another compartment of an otherwise intact abdominal cavity. Internal hernias can be acquired or congenital. Congenital internal hernias resulting in small bowel obstruction are extremely rare, even more so in adults, occurring usually due to embryological or developmental defects, often undiagnosed, and requiring a high index of clinical suspicion. We report a rare case of a 22-year-old young adult with transmesenteric hernia of distal ileum through a congenital distal ileal mesenteric defect resulting in closed-loop small bowel obstruction and distal ileal gangrene, managed with resection and end-ileostomy, followed by stoma reversal one month later. It requires a high index of suspicion and remains a surgical emergency due to its predilection for intestinal gangrene and small bowel obstruction, with a high mortality rate due to delayed presentation and diagnosis.
