Adenocarcinoma of Mullerian Origin Found Through an Elective Inguinal Hernia Resection: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We report an asymptomatic 59-year-old female undergoing an elective umbilical hernia excision who was found to have an ovarian adenocarcinoma within the excised hernia. Patients are rarely diagnosed with cancer after an umbilical hernia excision. An excised hernia is rarely the means for an initial diagnosis of cancer. We describe a case of an ovarian carcinoma incidentally found through an umbilical hernia excision with consequential treatment with neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy followed by debulking surgery with a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with a transoperative pathology report of a high-grade serous carcinoma located in the left fimbrial frond surrounded by a background of serous tubal intraepithelial carcinomas. This case demonstrates the need to perform histological examinations of all excised hernias, even in asymptomatic patients, as malignancy can be found inside a hernia, and it emphasizes the importance of considering adenocarcinomas of Mullerian origin in the differential diagnosis of a malignancy found in a hernia in an asymptomatic female patient.
