De Garengeot Hernia with Acute Gangrenous Appendicitis Case Report.

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
introductionA De Garengeot hernia is defined as a femoral hernia that contains the vermiform appendix. While femoral hernias carrying the appendix are uncommon, strangulation of the appendix in the hernial sac with concurrent acute appendicitis is an extremely rare and life-threatening condition often presenting with an atypical clinical picture. CASE REPORT: A 51-year-old man presented to the emergency department with two weeks of persistent right inguinal pain after heavy lifting. Imaging revealed suspicion for an Amyand hernia, an inguinal hernia containing a portion of the appendix. However, intraoperative findings revealed a strangulated De Garengeot hernia with gangrenous appendicitis.
conclusionDe Garengeot hernias are femoral hernias containing the appendix. They are diagnostically challenging and require urgent surgical evaluation and intervention given high risk for strangulation.
