An Asymptomatic Intrathoracic Kidney Secondary to a Bochdalek Hernia in a Geriatric Patient.
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
A Bochdalek hernia is a congenital defect that permits abdominal organs to herniate into the thoracic cavity. While commonly diagnosed in neonates due to symptomatology, it is often found incidentally in adults. The case presents an 84-year-old male from a skilled nursing facility complaining of left-sided chest pain radiating to the left shoulder, accompanied by shortness of breath and nausea. Initially worked up for an acute coronary cause or pulmonary embolism, imaging revealed an incidental right-sided Bochdalek hernia with intrathoracic displacement of the right kidney. Given the absence of gastrointestinal or pulmonary symptoms, the patient was conservatively managed. While surgical repair is preferred for symptomatic Bochdalek hernias in adults, conservative management is a viable option for stable patients. This case highlights the importance of incidental imaging findings in guiding clinical decision-making and patient-focused care.
