Laparoscopic-assisted repair of inguinal undescended testis with concurrent incarcerated hernia in children: a single-center experience.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purposes: We report clinical, operative, and outcome data for laparoscopic- assisted minimal procedure for treating unilateral inguinal undescended testis (UDT) with concurrent ipsilateral incarcerated hernia in children. Methods: Early-stage cases were defined as those presenting within 24 h of symptom onset with stable vital signs and absence of peritonitis, intestinal necrosis, or testicular necrosis. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients undergoing laparoscopic-assisted hernia repair and trans-scrotal orchidopexy (LAHRTO) procedure. Results: A total of 14 cases were enrolled (Left, Conclusions: Our initial findings suggest that the LAHRTO procedure appears safe and feasible for early-stage inguinal UDT with concurrent incarcerated hernia in children, reducing inguinal incisions and enabling concurrent contralateral PPV management. A larger number of cases with longer follow-up is needed to validate the results of the current study in an evidence-based manner.
