1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Inguinal hernias involving the bladder are exceedingly rare and pose a diagnostic challenge. Identifying bladder involvement within an inguinal hernia is imperative to avoid iatrogenic bladder injuries and subsequent complications. Here we discuss a case of inguinal bladder herniation and bladder visualization using methylene blue dye intraoperatively. We present a case of a 45-year-old male who presented with a six-hour history of dysuria and a painful non-reducible right-sided groin mass that had previously been reducible for 17 years. Computed tomography demonstrated an irreducible indirect inguinal hernia-containing bladder. Open Lichtenstein repair was performed, and intraoperative methylene blue-dyed saline successfully identified the herniated bladder, preventing iatrogenic bladder injury. This case report demonstrates the importance of preoperative imaging and intraoperative visualization for the prevention of complications in a rare occurrence of a strangulated indirect inguinal hernia-containing bladder.
