Incarcerated Incisional Hernia: An Unusual Presentation of Metastatic Endometrial Carcinoma.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Abdominal wall hernia is a common condition seen in the clinical practice of surgery. However, malignant tumors in the hernia sac are rare and there are limited studies on this subject. We report a case of a 77-year-old female who presented with generalized abdominal pain and vomiting. She was treated for an incarcerated incisional hernia and underwent an exploratory laparotomy, which showed a multiseptated incisional hernia sac. Histopathological examination revealed a metastatic endometrial serous carcinoma (ESC). ESC is an aggressive variant associated with poor prognosis, characterized by metastasis and extrauterine spread. Its treatment mainly involves a multidisciplinary approach, including surgical treatment and chemoradiotherapy. This report highlights the importance of considering malignant tumors in the differential diagnosis of hernia sac contents. Raising awareness among healthcare professionals and the general public can aid in the prompt diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and improved outcomes for individuals with such rare presentations.
