Strangulated Inguinal Hernia With Intraperitoneal Proximal Bowel Perforation: An Unusual Presentation.
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
Strangulated inguinal hernias are a common surgical emergency that requires prompt intervention to save the bowel. Perforation of the strangulated bowel loop inside the inguinal canal due to delayed presentation is known, but the occurrence of intraperitoneal proximal bowel perforation is exceedingly rare. This poses a unique challenge in terms of the surgical incision required and the type of hernia repair to be done. This case report describes a 44-year-old male who presented with a strangulated right inguinal hernia along with peritonitis. A midline exploratory laparotomy revealed two perforations in the proximal ileum, which were sutured primarily. The entire bowel was checked for any obvious gross pathology. The bowel wall did not appear inflamed, thickened, or constricted at any point. The strangulated bowel in the inguinal canal was viable and was reduced successfully, and the hernia was repaired through a separate inguinal incision using the nylon Darning technique. The patient had a full recovery with no recurrence at six-month follow-up.
