Unveiling the Foramen of Winslow: A Case Report of Internal Hernia and Its Surgical Implications.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 foramen of Winslow hernia is a rare variant of an internal hernia. It is a difficult condition to diagnose with a non-specific history and examination and requires the consideration of both clinical and radiologic features. In this study, we report the case of a 67-year-old Vietnamese woman who presented with abdominal pain and vomiting; a computed tomography (CT) scan depicted small bowel obstruction (SBO) with a transition point within the foramen of Winslow. The patient was taken for an emergent laparoscopic reduction of a hernia, without requiring bowel resection or conversion to open surgery. She recovered well post-operatively with the gradual introduction of diet and the cessation of nasogastric tube (NGT) decompression. In keeping with the existing literature on this rare condition, we conclude that early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are necessary to limit morbidity and that further research is required regarding techniques to prevent recurrence.
