Morgagni Hernia: Management in a 77-Year-Old Female With a Robotic Approach.
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
Morgagni hernias are rare congenital diaphragmatic defects. While often asymptomatic, they can present with nonspecific abdominal or respiratory symptoms, leading to incidental diagnosis through imaging. Surgical repair is the standard treatment to prevent complications such as bowel incarceration or strangulation, though the optimal approach remains a matter of debate. We present the case of a 77-year-old female who was found to have a Morgagni hernia involving the transverse colon. She underwent successful robotic-assisted repair with plication, approximation, and mesh placement. This report highlights the feasibility and safety of robotic-assisted repair for a Morgagni hernia, emphasizing its role in optimizing patient outcomes. As surgical techniques continue to evolve, further studies comparing long-term outcomes of robotic, laparoscopic, and open approaches will help refine best practices for managing this rare congenital defect.
