A Case of De Garengeot Hernia With Associated Appendiceal Inflammation.
Article in Cureus, 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
A De Garengeot hernia describes the rare occurrence of an appendix located within a femoral hernia sac. An incidence of appendiceal inflammation associated with a De Garengeot hernia is an even rarer surgical finding. A woman in her 70s presented to a district general hospital with a two-week history of a mildly tender right-sided groin lump. This lump was diagnostically confirmed by a computed tomography (CT) scan to be a De Garengeot hernia with associated appendiceal inflammation. The patient was managed surgically with a combined laparoscopic appendectomy, followed by an open low-approach herniorrhaphy. Primary suture repair of the femoral ring was performed due to concerns about contamination and mesh-related infection. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with groin hernias containing atypical contents. Additionally, it stresses the importance of considering secondary appendiceal inflammation due to mechanical factors and compression, instead of infective processes, in cases of groin hernias with atypical symptomology.
