Laparoscopic right-sided traumatic diaphragmatic hernia repair: a case report and video vignette.

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
Traumatic diaphragmatic hernias (TDHs) are uncommon and frequently missed, with right-sided defects particularly rare due to hepatic protection. Delayed presentations may result in complications including obstruction or strangulation. We present the case of a 70-year-old female with a right-sided TDH with incarceration of small bowel, 7 years following blunt trauma. Laparoscopic repair was undertaken in left lateral position, requiring mobilization of the right liver to access the posterolateral defect. Incarcerated small bowel was reduced and found to be viable. The diaphragmatic defect was closed in two layers using non-absorbable V-Loc™ sutures. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged on postoperative day four. This case highlights the value of laparoscopy for both diagnosis and repair, and the technical considerations required for right-sided access. Primary closure is preferred for small defects, while mesh reinforcement may be necessary in larger or chronic cases to reduce recurrence.
