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

A de Garengeot hernia (DGH) is a rare anatomic variant involving the herniation of the appendix through the femoral canal. It is an uncommon surgical entity with diagnostic challenges. We report the case of a 63-year-old woman who presented with right inguinal region pain and swelling, in which preoperative ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) identified the herniated, inflamed appendix within the canal of Nuck, which was intraoperatively found to be rather a femoral hernia. This rare case illustrates the characteristic imaging features of DGH and highlights the importance of early and accurate radiologic diagnosis for surgical planning and improved patient outcomes.
