A Rare Case of Complete Inguinoscrotal Bladder Herniation With Ureteric Involvement: Assessing Diagnostic Challenges and Complex Surgical Management.
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
Inguinoscrotal hernias involving the urinary bladder are exceedingly rare, constituting a small subset of inguinal hernias. We present a case of a 47-year-old male with long-standing scrotal enlargement and obstructive uropathy due to complete herniation of the bladder with ureteric involvement. Diagnostic imaging confirmed the condition. Following an open laparotomy, the bladder was reduced, and a modified Bassini technique with orchiopexy was used for repair. Recurrence of the inguinoscrotal hernia with evidence of the bladder in the scrotal sac required additional surgery. This case underscores the rarity, diagnostic complexity, and potential complications of inguinoscrotal bladder hernias. Specialized surgical techniques and a multidisciplinary approach are crucial for successful management, especially in cases of complete bladder herniation. Future considerations should include innovative approaches to enhance primary repair outcomes for extensive hernias involving the bladder.
