Laparoscopic Management of a Strangulated Hiatal Hernia: A Case Report.
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
Strangulation of type III hiatal hernia is a rare complication that needs immediate surgical intervention to prevent lethal outcomes. The report presents a case of an 85-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with symptoms of severe epigastric pain and multiple episodes of vomiting. Diagnosis was made clinically in addition to radiological imaging, including chest radiography and CT scan that revealed a large mixed type of hiatal hernia, with the majority of the stomach sliding into the thoracic cavity. Management was via urgent surgical repair. Hiatal hernia is a pathological condition characterized by the herniation of abdominal contents through the esophageal hiatus of the diaphragm into the mediastinum. Symptoms vary, and complications may occur; early diagnosis with urgent surgical repair is needed for incarcerated types of hernias. This case report sheds light on the rare complication of type III hiatal hernia. It emphasizes the necessity of early surgical intervention, with the importance of keeping it in mind as a differential diagnosis in emergency department settings.
