Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
This case report details the successful management of a massive incarcerated umbilical hernia in an obese adult patient. Strategic integration of omentectomy and meticulous suturing, excluding mesh repair due to comorbidities of obesity and poorly controlled diabetes, led to an uneventful postoperative course. The 65-year-old female underwent semi-emergency surgery, involving the repositioning of the incarcerated intestinal tract into the abdominal cavity through a substantial omentectomy. Closure of the hernia orifice was performed utilizing alternating absorbable interrupted sutures and non-absorbable far-near/near-far stitches. A myofascial release incision in the bilateral rectus abdominis muscle's anterior sheath further contributed to the procedural success. A postoperative computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed no abdominal wall dehiscence. This case highlights the effectiveness of tailored surgical procedures and provides insights into the management of adult umbilical hernias with complex clinical comorbidities.
