Left Para-Duodenal Hernia Presenting With Recurrent Abdominal Pain: A Diagnostic Challenge.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Paraduodenal hernias (PDH) are a type of internal hernia that results from errors in midgut rotation and failure of mesenteric fusion. Internal hernias themselves are a rare presentation that accounts for less than 1% of total hernias, and paraduodenal hernias contribute more than half of internal hernias. Left paraduodenal hernias (LPDH) occur more frequently as compared to right paraduodenal hernias. Left paraduodenal hernias happen when the small intestine bulges out in the left paraduodenal space, which is also called the space of Landzert. This can cause vague abdominal pain and signs of intestinal blockage, which makes diagnosis difficult. We present a case of a 28-year-old male with recurrent abdominal pain for 7 years, diagnosed with LPDH via laparotomy after inconclusive imaging studies, such as the whirlpool sign on USG. Intraoperatively, jejunal loops were found in Landzert's fossa, hindering hernia repair and adhesiolysis. Clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for PDH when assessing nonspecific abdominal symptoms to ensure timely diagnosis and management, optimising patient outcomes.
