A case report and literature review of De Garengeot hernia.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The presence of an appendix in the femoral hernia, known as De Garengeot hernia, was first described by a French surgeon named Rene Jacques Croissant de Garengeot in 1731. It is a rare surgical entity occurring in only 0.5-5% of all femoral hernias. It presents typically as an irreducible lump in the groin which may be difficult to differentiate from incarcerated inguinal hernia. The risk of incarceration is high due to the narrow femoral defect which can result in extraluminal compression of the appendix causing acute appendicitis. We have presented a 71-year-old woman with a 24 hour history of incarcerated De Garengeot hernia who underwent successful open femoral hernia repair with laparoscopic appendicectomy. While open femoral hernia repair with open appendicectomy is regarded as the commonly used surgical approach, we have highlighted the importance of pre-operative and intra-operative findings in predicting definitive surgical management.
