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

Bladder herniation into the inguinal canal is a rare entity, observed in approximately 1-4% of inguinal hernias, and often remains clinically silent. We present the case of a 77-year-old male with a known inguinal hernia and benign prostatic hyperplasia who experienced progressive left flank and groin pain over several years. Serial CT imaging demonstrated gradual herniation of the left bladder wall into the inguinal canal, leading to ureteral compression, hydronephrosis, and ultimately irreversible left renal atrophy. Despite multiple surgical recommendations, the patient had deferred intervention. This case uniquely illustrates the time-dependent evolution of bladder herniation and its potential to cause silent but severe upper urinary tract damage if not promptly recognized and treated.
