Spigelian Hernia Masquerading as Chronic Lower Abdominal Pain: A 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
Spigelian hernias are rare and often overlooked causes of lower abdominal pain due to their deep location and subtle clinical signs. This case involves a 55-year-old woman with a five-year history of intermittent right lower abdominal discomfort that gradually worsened with physical activity. Clinical examination was inconclusive, prompting further evaluation with imaging, which revealed a defect in the Spigelian fascia with bowel herniation. She underwent successful open mesh repair, with an uneventful recovery and complete resolution of symptoms. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with Spigelian hernias and underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion in patients with persistent, unexplained abdominal pain, as early imaging and surgical intervention can lead to excellent outcomes.
