Unilateral to Contralateral: A Rare Case of Sequential Obturator Hernias.
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
Obturator hernias are the rarest of all abdominal wall hernias. Multiparous women with a low body mass index (BMI) are at increased risk, and therefore, these hernias are sometimes referred to as "little old lady hernias." They occur more frequently on the right side than on the left, due to the sigmoid colon protecting the left obturator canal. These hernias are repaired through surgical intervention to prevent complications. In this case report, a thin, elderly, multiparous female patient presented with signs and symptoms of bowel obstruction. Imaging revealed a left-sided obturator hernia, which was repaired laparoscopically with a mesh. Two years later, she returned with similar symptoms, and imaging again revealed an obturator hernia, but this time in the right obturator canal. The hernia was also repaired laparoscopically with a mesh, and the patient experienced no postoperative complications during follow-up.
