Intrathoracic Gastric Perforation Secondary to Strangulated Recurrent Hiatal Hernia: A Case Report of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges.
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
This report discusses a rare and challenging case of intrathoracic gastric perforation secondary to a recurrent strangulated hiatal hernia. The patient, a 52-year-old female with a prior history of thoracic and laparoscopic surgery for hiatal and diaphragmatic hernia, presented with epigastric and chest pain, which progressively led to hemodynamic shock. Initially, a pulmonary infection with parapneumonic pleural effusion was suspected. However, further imaging, including a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan, revealed bilateral pleural effusion and herniation of the stomach with perforation into the thoracic cavity, which required emergency surgical intervention. Subtotal gastrectomy was performed, followed by peritoneostomy. Postoperatively, the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit. A few days later, she underwent peritoneostomy revision and Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy reconstruction. After clinical improvement, she was transferred to the general ward and subsequently discharged, with outpatient follow-up.
