A left paraduodenal hernia causing bowel obstruction: a case report.
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 1 paper.
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 (PDHs) are rare congenital internal hernias, constituting 50% of internal hernias and 0.2%-0.9% of small bowel obstructions. Left PDHs are more common and arise from midgut malrotation during embryonic development. We present the case of a 59-year-old male with acute small bowel obstruction caused by a left PDH. Imaging revealed clustered small bowel loops in the left upper quadrant, a hallmark of left PDH. Diagnostic laparoscopy confirmed the condition but was converted to open surgery due to dense adhesions. The herniated loops, initially edematous, were viable after reduction and warm compression. The hernia orifice was closed with non-absorbable sutures. Early diagnosis using imaging, particularly CT, is crucial, with findings such as clustered bowel loops, displaced structures, and engorged mesenteric vessels converging at the hernia orifice. Surgical intervention is the definitive treatment, highlighting the importance of prompt recognition to prevent complications and ensure favorable outcomes.
