Left-Sided Acutely Irreducible Terminal Ileum Hernia With Cecum, Appendix, and Sliding Sigmoid: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

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
Amyand's hernia is the presence of the vermiform appendix within the inguinal hernia sac, while a sliding hernia involves the herniation of a retroperitoneal organ outside the abdominal cavity. The hernia sac can contain various intraabdominal organs, including the small bowel, cecum, appendix, omentum, or ovary and fallopian tube. A hernial sac containing the appendix on the left side is rare, and the presence of other organs in combination is also uncommon. We are presenting a case of a 45-year-old male who presented with irreducible left inguinal swelling and obstructing symptoms. Interestingly, a large left indirect hernia sac was seen intraoperatively containing incarcerated cecum, terminal ileum, appendix, and sliding sigmoid colon. Left-sided incarcerated terminal ileum, cecum, appendix, and sliding hernia can be challenging because the symptoms are often nonspecific. However, surgery is often the only way to definitively diagnose these types of hernia.
