Amyand's hernia: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Amyand's hernia (AH), an extremely rare form of inguinal hernia, particularly those cases where the hernial sac contains an inflamed, edematous, or perforated appendix, is infrequently encountered. This report details the case of a 6-year-old boy who presented with an irreducible, painful mass in the right inguinal region of unknown etiology. A CT scan indicated right inguinal hernia, and a blood routine test revealed elevated white blood cell counts. The patient was diagnosed with right inguinal hernia (AH) and acute appendicitis. Emergency laparoscopic high ligation of the inguinal hernia sac and appendectomy were performed. A postoperative pathological examination confirmed acute simple appendicitis and periappendicitis. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged 5 days after surgery. With a 6-month follow-up, no recurrence was observed, and the patient remains under follow-up. In conclusion, AH is a rare condition, and laparoscopic high ligation of the hernial sac is the primary treatment approach. During surgery, careful identification of the hernia contents is essential. Comprehensive preoperative assessment, precise surgical techniques, and standardized intraoperative and postoperative management play a vital role in minimizing complications and reducing the risk of postoperative recurrence.
