Post-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia: a rare case of intestinal obstruction.
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. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Post-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that can occur after blunt or penetrating trauma. Delayed presentations are uncommon, but can lead to serious complications, such as bowel obstruction. We report a case of a 31-year-old male patient who presented five years after a thoracic trauma with symptoms of intestinal obstruction and was diagnosed with a delayed post-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia. The diagnosis was made through contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan, and the patient underwent laparoscopic repair with mesh reinforcement. This case highlights the importance of considering diaphragmatic hernia in the differential diagnosis of patients with a history of trauma, even if the presentation is delayed. Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial to prevent serious complications and improve patient outcomes. This study adds to the existing literature on traumatic diaphragmatic hernias, emphasizing the need for enhanced clinical awareness, interdisciplinary cooperation, and surgical repair.
