Combined Use of Laparoscopy and an Open Inguinal Approach for Repair of a De Garengeot Hernia.
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
Femoral hernias carry an increased risk of incarceration. De Garengeot hernia, a rare subset, occurs when the appendix herniates through the femoral canal. Due to its rarity, various surgical approaches have been explored, including isolated groin incisions, combined approaches, and exclusive laparoscopic interventions. This case involved a 58-year-old female diagnosed with a De Garengeot hernia and nonperforated acute appendicitis, managed through a combined laparoscopic and an inguinal approach, and underwent laparoscopic appendectomy and open repair of femoral hernia using a biologic mesh. In this case, the combined approaches facilitated a successful hernia repair and appendectomy while enabling a swift recovery. This case highlights the effectiveness of the combined minimally invasive and inguinal approach in optimizing outcomes for patients with De Garengeot hernia.
