Pediatric Morgagni hernia: A 10 year single center experience.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 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
objectivesTo present our institutional experience with pediatric morgagni hernia (MH) emphasizing the presentation, diagnostic workup, surgical techniques, and follow-up.
methodsA retrospective chart review of patients diagnosed with MH who underwent surgical repair from May 2014 to May 2024. Data points collected included demographic, clinical, and follow up information. We analyzed the data using basic thematic analysis. For categorical variables, we employed counts and percentages. Statistical analysis performed using the Mann-Whitney U test.
resultsNine patients underwent MH repair. Respiratory symptoms were the most common, affecting 66% of patients. All patients received chest radiography, while 5 required computed tomography imaging. Three (33%) patients underwent laparotomy, 5 (55%) underwent laparoscopic repair, and 1 (11%) underwent thoracotomy repair. The laparotomy group required significantly more days in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) (
conclusionLaparoscopic repair offers superior outcomes, such as fewer days in the ICU and on mechanical ventilation, reduced intravenous narcotic use, shorter NPO durations, and an overall shorter hospital stay. When feasible and safe, laparoscopic repair should be considered the preferred method for pediatric MH.
