Reawakening of a dormant diaphragmatic hernia: a case of delayed post-traumatic presentation.

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
Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia (TDH) is a rare condition, especially on the right side, often lacking specific symptoms and sometimes manifesting years after the initial trauma. This case report highlights the importance of thorough history-taking, physical examination, and radiological imaging in the diagnosis and treatment of TDH. A 41-year-old male presented with recurrent epigastric pain and respiratory problems, initially treated for gastritis without relief. Further investigation revealed a large right-sided diaphragmatic hernia linked to a prior trauma. The patient underwent successful laparoscopic repair via an abdominal approach, with the defect closed using sutures and polytetrafluoroethylene mesh. Identifying delayed TDH is challenging, but a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation can ensure timely diagnosis and effective treatment, helping to prevent serious complications.
