Amyand's Hernia and the Desarda Repair: A Case Series and Contemporary Review of Management Strategies.
Article in Cureus, 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
Treatment guidelines regarding appendix-containing groin hernias lack clarity with respect to tissue versus mesh repair in cases that are considered clean-contaminated following appendectomy. We review the management of Amyand's hernia based on currently available literature and describe the cases of three adult male patients who underwent operative repair of Amyand's hernias. Case 1 involves a 64-year-old man who underwent Desarda tissue repair and appendectomy for intraoperatively discovered appendicitis. Case 2 involves a 48-year-old man who underwent appendectomy and Desarda tissue repair due to an ischemic appendix. Case 3 involves a 71-year-old man with a complex cardiac history who underwent open Lichtenstein repair with absorbable biosynthetic mesh following ileocecectomy for cecal ischemia. These cases are discussed in the context of current management guidelines and published literature regarding tissue repair versus mesh placement and the role of appendectomy. Most available literature supports appendectomy and tissue repair in cases of appendicitis or contamination. However, individualized patient factors, including anatomy, contamination risk, and recurrence risk, should guide the choice of repair technique.
