Preoperative Diagnosis and Indocyanine Green (ICG) Fluorescence-Guided Surgery for Uterine Broad Ligament Hernia: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Uterine broad ligament hernia is a rare cause of bowel obstruction in women, often challenging to diagnose preoperatively. We report a case of a 73-year-old woman presenting with abdominal pain and vomiting. CT imaging revealed an incarcerated small bowel loop within the Douglas pouch, with displacement of the uterus, leading to a diagnosis of strangulated bowel obstruction due to a broad ligament hernia. An emergency laparotomy identified an ileal segment trapped in a defect of the left broad ligament. The bowel appeared ischemic, but intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging confirmed adequate perfusion, allowing for preservation without resection. The hernial defect was repaired, and the patient recovered without complications. This case highlights the importance of early CT diagnosis and the utility of ICG fluorescence imaging in assessing bowel viability, aiding surgical decision-making, and preventing unnecessary resection in cases of prolonged strangulation.
