1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We report a case of a stone in inguinal hernia sac. A 41-year-old male patient presented to Hakim Hospital in Neyshabur city, Iran, with complaints of pain and swelling in the right abdominal region. After initial evaluations, a diagnosis of right inguinal hernia was made, and the patient was scheduled for hernioplasty. He had no history of previous surgeries, hospital admissions, underlying diseases, or kidney and gallbladder stones. The surgery was performed. The hernia sac was exposed. Inside the hernia sac, a stone measuring approximately 2 cm in diameter, with a hard consistency and yellow color, was found. The stone was not adherent to the sac and was mobile. The hernia sac was opened, the stone was removed, and sent to the pathology lab. The patient was discharged 24 h later in good general condition. According to the pathology report, the components of the stone were identified as calcium oxalate.
