1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We report the case of a 71-year-old male with palpable and painful left inguinal mass who underwent open hernioplasty. During the operation, ~700 ml of ascitic fluid and multiple nodules on the peritoneum were observed upon incision of the hernia sac. Culture and pathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of peritoneal tuberculosis (TB). Abdominal TB is rarely presented as a hernia. We review ten cases of abdominal TB associated with abdominal hernias and discuss surgical techniques and further management options.
