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
The presence of the appendix within a hernia sac is known as Amyand's hernia. Amyand's hernia is frequently diagnosed intraoperatively, as preoperative diagnosis is exceedingly difficult. Concomitant acute appendicitis is a rare complication of Amyand's hernia. We present a case of an 18-year-old male who was admitted to the emergency department with acute appendicitis. A laparoscopic appendicectomy was performed, during which it was noted that a portion of the appendix had herniated through the internal inguinal ring. The appendix was removed from the inguinal ring. An abscess cavity was washed and shown to have no further contents. An appendicectomy was completed without repairing the inguinal hernia. This case represents a rare instance of an Amyand's hernia in which acute appendicitis was the preoperative diagnosis.
