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
Amyand's hernia, defined as the presence of the vermiform appendix within an inguinal hernia sac, is a rare condition, particularly in neonates. This report describes a 1-month-old preterm male presenting with scrotal swelling, vomiting, watery stools, and excessive crying. Examination revealed abdominal distension and an irreducible, tender right groin swelling, initially diagnosed as an obstructed inguinal hernia. Intraoperative findings confirmed a perforated appendix within the hernia sac, necessitating appendectomy and herniotomy. The patient recovered uneventfully, resuming feeding within 24 h and being discharged 48 h postoperatively with normal bowel function. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges and successful surgical management of perforated Amyand's hernia in a neonate, highlighting the importance of prompt intervention to prevent complications.
