Inguinal hernia containing entire uterus and ovaries: a rare case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 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
Introduction and importance: Uterus-containing inguinal hernia (UIH) is an extremely rare condition in which the uterus and adnexa are found within the inguinal hernia sac in females. This case describes a rare case of UIH in a female infant, highlighting the importance of early recognition and surgical management to preserve fertility. Case presentation: A 2.5-month-old female infant presented with an irreducible left inguinal swelling without vomiting. Ultrasound confirmed the hernia contents. Emergency open surgery was performed due to concerns for vascular compromise; laparoscopy was unavailable. Clinical discussion: UIH is rare, particularly in pediatric females, and may be associated with anatomical abnormalities. Early surgical intervention is crucial to prevent complications such as ovarian torsion. Conclusion: UIH demand tailored imaging and surgical approaches to mitigate long-term risks. This case underscores the importance of considering uterine/ovarian involvement in pediatric irreducible hernias.
