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

backgroundLaugier's hernia is a very rare atypical femoral hernia and is challenging to diagnose preoperatively. Herein, we report a rare case of inguinal and Laugier's hernias treated with laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair. CASE PRESENTATION: A 63-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with right groin swelling for 4 years. Computed tomography revealed an indirect inguinal hernia with protrusion of the small intestine. The preoperative diagnosis was right indirect inguinal hernia; Laugier's hernia was unknown. The patient underwent laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair. During the surgery, part of the perivesical adipose tissue penetrated the lacunar ligament. It was located medial to the typical site of a femoral hernia. Thus, Laugier's hernia was diagnosed. Finally, laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair was performed for Laugier's hernia and inguinal hernia. The postoperative course was good, without recurrence.

conclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first reported case of inguinal and Laugier's hernia treated with laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair. Surgeons should be mindful that inguinal hernias can occur concurrently with other types of hernias, such as femoral hernias, including atypical variants like Laugier's hernia. Additionally, they should actively consider laparoscopic approaches such as transabdominal preperitoneal for femoral hernias. These approaches are beneficial for precise diagnosis, confirming the presence of other hernias, and simultaneously treating all coexisting inguinal hernias.
