A case of spontaneous reduction of incarcerated inguinal hernia caused by Meckel's diverticulum.

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
Inguinal hernias with a Meckel's diverticulum are called Littre hernias and are rare diseases. In many cases, symptoms of incarceration or intestinal obstruction are present, and emergency surgery is generally required. However, imaging diagnosis and clinical symptoms are similar to those of incarceration of inguinal hernias, making preoperative diagnosis difficult. In most cases, diagnosis is made during emergency surgery. A 54-year-old man with abdominal pain was found to have a right-sided incarcerated inguinal hernia on abdominal computed tomography. The incarceration spontaneously reduced, although a Meckel's diverticulum was discovered during emergency laparoscopic surgery for an inguinal hernia. Mesh repair and Meckel diverticulotomy were performed. In cases of inguinal hernias due to a Meckel's diverticulum, it is difficult to diagnose a Meckel's diverticulum as the cause without exploring the intestine, although laparoscopic hernia repair is useful to investigate this possibility.
