Littre's Hernia Incidentally Found During Laparoscopic Indirect Inguinal Hernia Repair in a Child.

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
Littre's hernia is a rare type of hernia in which Meckel's diverticulum is found in the hernia sac. While most cases present with incarceration, incidentally discovered cases of Littre's hernia without incarceration are even rarer. A three-month-old boy was referred to our hospital with a three-month history of right inguinal swelling. Although the swelling was reducible, re-prolapse was readily observed. Small bowel obstruction and gastrointestinal bleeding had not been experienced. Laparoscopic herniorrhaphy was planned for right inguinal hernia repair at four months of age during which Littre's hernia was incidentally discovered intraoperatively. Following laparoscopic herniorrhaphy, extracorporeal small bowel resection was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was followed up for nine months without symptoms. Laparoscopic herniorrhaphy is a useful surgical technique, as it may facilitate the detection of unexpected complications, which might be overlooked with the inguinal approach.
