Total Thickness Bilateral Rupture of the Rectus Abdominis: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Case reports in surgery, 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
Rupture of the rectus abdominis is a rare condition. We describe the case of a young male trainee paratrooper who presented with sudden onset severe lower abdominal pain that occurred during military training. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed full-thickness bilateral rupture of the rectus abdominis. Our management involved injecting botulinum toxin into the rectus muscles preoperatively, reconstructing the rectus muscles, and placing a supportive biosynthetic mesh. Postoperatively, our patient could walk pain-free at 3 weeks, jog pain-free at 10 weeks, and run up to 2 miles at 25 weeks. As there is no consensus on the management of this rare injury, we conducted a literature review on all cases reporting rupture of the rectus abdominis from the year 2000. After comparing the outcomes of conservatively versus surgically managed patients, we can conclude that generally, management of such defects is dependent on size, severity, and patient factors; however, surgical treatment yields comparable results to conservative treatment.
