Left paraduodenal hernia: a rare cause of gastric outlet obstruction and large bowel obstruction.

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
Paraduodenal hernia is a rare subset of internal hernia and an uncommon aetiology of bowel obstruction. A 50-year-old male presented with a 12 h history of severe epigastric pain and vomiting. A contrast enhanced computed tomography scan of the abdomen and pelvis demonstrated gastric outlet obstruction and large bowel obstruction due to left paraduodenal hernia involving the distal transverse colon and gastric antrum. After resuscitation, a laparotomy was performed, the bowel was reduced, the mesocolic defect repaired, and small bowel mesentery widened. The large bowel was decompressed via the appendix stump. The post-operative recovery was unremarkable. Left paraduodenal hernia is a rare condition and where seen acutely, usually presents with small bowel obstruction. Here the patient presented with a large bowel obstruction, a rare presentation of this uncommon condition. Operative intervention is mandatory in the acute setting to prevent ischaemia and perforation from strangulation of the bowel.
