Diagnostic challenges of hiatal hernia Type IV: An imaging perspective.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Type IV hiatal hernia is a mixed type of hiatal hernia characterized by the herniation of visceral organs other than the stomach into the mediastinum. It is the least common type of hiatal hernia. We report a case of a 4-month-old male infant who presented with shortness of breath and persistent vomiting. Initial chest X-ray suggested a mediastinal mass, but further evaluation with chest computed tomography (CT) scan revealed herniation of the stomach and duodenum through the hiatal oesophagus into the thoracic cavity. Radiological imaging was crucial in confirming the diagnosis of hiatal hernia.
