Richter's Hernia With Bowel Perforation in the Umbilical Region: A Unique Pediatric Case.
Article in Cureus, 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
Richter's hernia is a rare condition in which only a portion of the bowel's antimesenteric border becomes incarcerated, often leading to ischemia and perforation without complete obstruction. While commonly seen in elderly patients, pediatric cases, especially congenital umbilical presentations, are rare. We present a case of a four-year-old female with a three-day history of crampy peri-umbilical pain, a non-reducible right paraumbilical bulge, and intermittent vomiting. Despite the patient continuing to pass stool, intraoperative findings revealed an entrapped antimesenteric side of the distal ileal loop, confirming Richter's hernia with a perforation inside the hernia sac. The perforation was debrided and closed with primary suturing. The hernia was repaired using a double-layer anatomical closure, and the postoperative course was uneventful. This case highlights the deceptive nature of Richter's hernia and the importance of early recognition, particularly in pediatric congenital umbilical hernias, to prevent severe complications.
