Lumbar hernia Jean-Louis Petit: A case report and literature review.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Inferior lumbar hernias are exceptionally rare, representing a small fraction of all abdominal wall hernias. Among them, hernias of Jean-Louis Petit, occurring through the inferior lumbar triangle, are particularly uncommon and often overlooked in clinical practice. We present the case of a 53-year-old woman with no significant medical history who developed a painless, progressively enlarging mass in the right lumbar region. Ultrasound revealed a hernial sac containing omental and digestive structures, which was further characterized by CT imaging as an inferior lumbar hernia containing epiploic fat and bowel loops, with no evidence of strangulation. The patient was referred for elective surgical repair to prevent future complications. This case underscores the importance of recognizing lumbar hernias as a differential in atypical flank masses and illustrates the critical role of CT in accurate diagnosis and surgical planning. Given the rarity of this entity, increased awareness among clinicians and radiologists is essential for timely and appropriate management.
