Minimally Invasive Treatment of Traumatic Diaphragm Rupture.
Article in CRSLS : MIS case reports from SLS. 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
Background: Diaphragmatic rupture is a rare but potentially life-threatening injury that can result from blunt or penetrating trauma. Timely diagnosis is critical to prevent serious complications, yet clinical and radiological assessments are often inconclusive. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 39-year-old male patient who sustained blunt thoracoabdominal trauma in a motor vehicle accident. The patient presented with respiratory distress and generalized abdominal tenderness. Imaging revealed a left diaphragmatic defect with herniation of abdominal organs into the thoracic cavity. Surgical Technique: The patient underwent diagnostic laparoscopy, which confirmed an 8 × 5 cm defect in the left diaphragmatic dome with herniation of the stomach and omentum. The herniated organs were reduced, and the defect was repaired tension-free using intracorporeal 0-silk sutures. A 28-Fr intercostal drainage tube and a 12-Fr abdominal drain were placed. Outcome: The postoperative course was uneventful. A chest x-ray on postoperative day one confirmed normal diaphragm position and re-expansion of the lung. The patient recovered without complications. Conclusion: Laparoscopy provides a minimally invasive and effective diagnostic and therapeutic option for diaphragmatic rupture following blunt trauma. In appropriately selected cases, it offers favorable outcomes with reduced morbidity.
