Small bowel obstruction unmasking an internal hernia through a broad ligament defect: 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. 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
Internal hernias are rare occurrences in which abdominal organs protrude through a mesenteric defect. Among these, herniation through the broad ligament is an especially uncommon type, comprising only 4% of all internal hernias. This condition can present with a wide spectrum of symptoms, ranging from abdominal pain to acute small bowel obstruction. Diagnosis is often difficult due to nonspecific clinical and radiological signs, making the condition a challenge to detect preoperatively. We present the case of a 30-year-old woman who developed an acute small bowel obstruction, identified through a CT scan. Surgical exploration revealed an incarcerated internal hernia passing through a defect in the broad ligament. After releasing the incarcerated bowel and closing the hernial orifice, the patient made a full recovery. This case provides additional insight into broad ligament hernias and the surgical approach to this rare condition.
