Post-surgical Hepatic Herniation: An Exceptionally Rare Occurrence.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Post-surgical hepatic herniation through an abdominal incision is an uncommon occurrence, particularly without predisposing factors such as trauma, multiple prior surgeries, or increased intra-abdominal pressure. Complications, such as hepatic Encephalopathy and Budd-Chiari syndrome, are associated with this entity; when they occur, they can cause significant distress. This report describes a 59-year-old female with a history of breast cancer and prior cholecystectomy, in whom a routine CT scan incidentally revealed liver herniation through a surgical scar. She was asymptomatic with normal liver function, and conservative management with regular follow-ups was chosen. CT imaging remains the gold standard for diagnosis. Surgical intervention is reserved for symptomatic or complicated cases. Given the rarity of hepatic herniation, further studies are needed to assess long-term outcomes and establish standardized treatment guidelines. This case underscores the importance of routine imaging in oncology follow-ups.
