Laparoscopic Repair of Traumatic Diaphragmatic Hernia Secondary to Gunshot Wound.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
This report presents the case of a 40-year-old man with a history of emergency surgery due to a gunshot wound. Twelve years later, he presented with persistent symptoms, including epigastric pain, pyrosis, and dysphagia. Diagnostic studies reveal a complex paraesophageal and paracardial diaphragmatic hernia. Traumatic diaphragmatic hernias (TDHs) present diagnostic challenges, particularly during the latent phase, with symptoms ranging from gastrointestinal to respiratory. A comprehensive evaluation and correct diagnosis are required, including diagnostic modalities such as CT scans, upper endoscopy, and esophagogastroduodenal transit. Surgical approaches, whether laparoscopic or thoracoscopic, are chosen based on individual preference for adhesions. The report highlights the success of laparoscopic management, emphasizing early detection to prevent complications during both latent and obstructive phases of TDH. Additionally, it emphasizes the necessity of regular follow-ups for trauma patients.
