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

Meckel's diverticulum is a common gastrointestinal anomaly that can remain unnoticed until adulthood and may present in a hernia sac, known as Littre's Hernia. Littre's hernia is a very rare entity in acute care surgery, which can be missed during index surgery or during the initial surgical evaluation. We present the case of an incarcerated Littre's hernia, found intraoperatively during a robotic-assisted laparoscopic hernia repair, in an 82-year-old female patient. Based on intraoperative findings, a simple diverticulectomy was performed, and a mesh was used to reinforce the repair of the hernia. In addition, we are presenting a review of the current literature on Meckel's diverticulum and Littre's hernia, particularly among adult patients.
