Incarcerated Stomach Within an Inguinal Hernia: A Rare Surgical Presentation.
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
The herniation of the stomach into an inguinoscrotal hernia is exceptionally rare, with very few cases described in surgical literature. The recognition of this presentation is important due to the risk of complications such as obstruction, ischaemia and perforation. We present the case of an elderly gentleman who presented with persistent vomiting and a large, tender left inguinoscrotal hernia. Computed tomography (CT) imaging confirmed the herniation of the stomach into the left inguinal canal with features suggestive of hypoperfusion. The patient underwent an emergency exploratory laparotomy to assess for gastric ischaemia, followed by gastropexy. The patient had an uncomplicated recovery and was discharged with an outpatient follow-up appointment. The awareness of this rare presentation is essential for the timely management and prevention of life-threatening complications.
