1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Internal hernias are an uncommon cause of bowel obstruction. The diagnosis and identification of the cause of internal herniation can be challenging, but modern imaging, particularly CT scan, facilitates preoperative identification. The foramen of Winslow hernia represents a rare subtype, accounting for a small fraction of all internal hernias and often presenting with non-specific symptoms. Most reported cases in the literature were managed through open surgery, albeit a few favored laparoscopy. This report presents a challenging case involving herniation of the terminal ileum, cecum, and ascending and transverse colon through the foramen of Winslow. We share the successful laparoscopic management, highlighting the surgical challenges and techniques used in this rare presentation.
