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

Internal hernias account for a minority of cases of intestinal obstruction. Within this group, internal hernias through the foramen of Winslow (FW) are an even rarer subcategory with a paucity of cases reported in the literature. We present a case of a 48-year-old female presenting with right upper quadrant pain akin to biliary colic with sonographic evidence of cholelithiasis. Her symptoms swiftly worsened, and she re-presented with symptoms of bowel obstruction. She was subsequently found to have a caecal volvulus herniating through the FW on computed tomography (CT). She underwent an emergency laparotomy to reduce the hernia and prevent further recurrence, which highlighted the importance of a comprehensive history and the increasing role of cross-sectional imaging in emergency surgery.
