Persistent Intestinal Obstruction After Reduction of Incarcerated Inguinal Hernia: A Case of "Reduction en Masse".
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
"Reduction en masse" is a rare condition in which a hernia can be reduced to the abdomen, but the bowel remains trapped in the hernia sac. Although this is a rare condition, a delayed diagnosis can lead to serious and life-threatening consequences. In this case report, a 60-year-old woman presented with clinical symptoms of small bowel obstruction at the emergency department, who later developed recurrent symptoms of small bowel obstruction after seemingly successful reduction of a right-sided inguinal hernia. This led to diagnostic laparoscopy, where a small bowel segment trapped in a hernia sac was found.
