Management of Lumbar Hernia Secondary to Retroperitoneal Abscess Drainage.
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
Lumbar hernia is a rare defect that develops through the posterolateral abdominal wall. It can be classified as either congenital or acquired and may occur secondary to traumatic, iatrogenic, or infectious etiologies. Surgical management is the standard approach, with laparoscopic techniques emerging as the preferred method.A 47-year-old woman presented with swelling and pain in the left flank several months after undergoing a left laparoscopic adrenalectomy, which resulted in an abscess formation requiring interventional radiologic (IR) drainage. A computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed a left lumbar hernia, and an open mesh repair was performed. Due to their rare presentation, lumbar hernias do not have a standardized treatment algorithm. Both open and laparoscopic approaches can be utilized, but mesh repair is usually required to prevent hernia recurrence. Considering the surrounding musculature and bony prominences, knowledge of the anatomy is key to a successful and durable repair.
