Adult right-sided strangulated diaphragmatic hernia with history of open nephrectomy: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical 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
We present a case involving a 76-year-old man who developed a strangulated diaphragmatic hernia 14 years after undergoing an open right nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. The patient presented with lower abdominal pain, vomiting, and constipation. Imaging studies revealed an obstructed segment of the bowel herniating through a defect in the posterior right hemidiaphragm, along with signs of strangulation. An urgent laparotomy was performed, during which a right hemicolectomy was conducted. Despite experiencing hemodynamic instability, the patient eventually underwent an ileocolic anastomosis and a primary repair of the diaphragmatic defect. He made a rapid recovery and was discharged in stable condition. This case report aims to raise awareness about the risk of inadvertent diaphragmatic injury during open nephrectomy. It also emphasizes the importance of timely diagnosis and appropriate surgical management to prevent complications and improve patient outcomes.
