Ectopic adrenal tissue in an inguinal hernia sac: A case report.
Article in Urology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Adrenal ectopy is the rare occurrence of adrenal tissue at abnormal locations with hernia sac being particularly infrequent. 2-year-old male child with swelling in right inguinal region was diagnosed as reducible inguinal hernia. Intraoperatively during hernia repair, the sac was identified with a thick yellow nodule adherent to it. Separation of sac from cord structures along with high ligation of sac was done. The histopathological analysis of abnormal tissue was consistent with ectopic adrenal cortical tissue. We conclude that abnormal tissue found incidentally at inguinoscrotal surgeries should be removed, since ectopic adrenal tissue can potentially cause morbidity in the future.
