Obstruction of the Bowel on an Inter-sigmoid Hernia: A Rare Cause of Occlusion.
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
Inter-sigmoid hernia is a rare condition characterized by the protrusion of the small intestine into the inter-sigmoid fossa. The inter-sigmoid fossa, also known as the inter-sigmoid recess, is a funnel-shaped peritoneal pouch of variable size, located between the two mesenteric roots of the parietal margin of the meso-sigmoid. The diagnosis of inter-sigmoid hernia is often delayed due to nonspecific clinical symptoms, which frequently leads to a postponement of surgical intervention. Preoperative detection on CT imaging can be challenging, and the diagnosis is typically confirmed during urgent surgical exploration. We report the case of a 63-year-old man who presented to the emergency room with abdominal pain. The physical examination and radiological findings were suggestive of an intestinal occlusion over an internal hernia. Given these findings, an emergency laparotomy was performed, confirming the diagnosis of an inter-sigmoid internal hernia with incarceration of a distended segment of the small intestine.
