Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasm in a De Garengeot Hernia: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
De Garengeot's hernia, a femoral hernia containing an incarcerated appendix, is rarely encountered in clinical practice. We report a case of a 62-year-old woman presenting with a right groin lump. A computed tomography scan reported a right inguinal hernia containing fluid with no bowel involvement. Exploration of the right groin revealed a femoral hernia containing an inflamed appendix. Appendicectomy and suture repair of the femoral canal were performed, with histology showing a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm, which is also rare. After a discussion during the colorectal multidisciplinary team meeting and taking into consideration the patient's wishes, a decision was made regarding a complete right hemicolectomy. Histology from the subsequent surgery did not demonstrate any adverse features, and the patient was enrolled in the surveillance program. This case highlights the rarity of this finding and underscores the importance of tailoring surgical approaches based on the intraoperative findings aided by preoperative imaging and a thorough understanding of the anatomy.
