Incarcerated lateral inguinal hernia following ilioinguinal lymph node dissection: an unusual case.
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
Penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) spreads predictably from primary tumour to inguinal lymph nodes then pelvic nodes and finally, to distant sites. Inguinal dissection involves resection of all femoral and inguinal nodes and is part of the recommended management. Femoral hernias are a commonly reported consequence of these extensive dissections. This case describes an unusual hernia which developed lateral to the femoral vessels. A 68 year old man presented with penile SCC of the distal glans penis and underwent bilateral ilioinguinal node dissections for nodal recurrence. On post operative day 1, the patient developed abdominal distention and obstipation. He returned to theatre and a defect under the inguinal ligament, lateral to the femoral vessels was identified, consistent with a lateral hernia. This was repaired with a polypropylene mesh onlay. Lateral inguinal hernia is a rare occurrence after ilioinguinal node dissection but early recognition and prompt intervention can prevent significant morbidity.
