Foramen of Winslow Hernias: A Case Series of a Rare Cause of Bowel Obstruction in Three Women.
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
This case series describes three female patients between the ages of 51 and 66 who presented with epigastric pain with or without nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Each had minimal medical and surgical histories, most notably one with a congenital malrotation and prior cholecystectomy, one with an enlarged right lobe of the liver, and one with a prior hiatal hernia repair. CT results suggested a hernia through the foramen of Winslow (FWH) in each case, which was confirmed intraoperatively. Each patient underwent surgical treatment, two with a robotic approach and one with an open approach. One underwent a partial hemicolectomy and another a partial cecectomy for significant cecal dilation. All patients' postoperative courses were uncomplicated, and each recovered with no hernia recurrence or symptoms. These cases highlight the variability in presentation, imaging findings, and surgical decision-making associated with FWH.
