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
Para-vesical internal hernias are rare but serious complications of abdominal surgeries and can present as small bowel obstruction (SBO). We report the case of a 30-year-old woman with a history of Cesarean delivery 9 years prior, who presented with crampy abdominal pain, bilious vomiting, and obstipation. Imaging revealed findings consistent with SBO. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed a para-vesical internal hernia with patchy ischemia of the bowel. The hernia was reduced, and the defect was repaired. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged on postoperative day five. This case highlights the importance of considering internal hernias in the differential diagnosis of SBO in patients with prior abdominal surgery. Early surgical intervention is critical to prevent bowel ischemia and further complications.
