Single-Incision Laparoscopic Totally Extraperitoneal (SILS-TEP) Repair of a Fat Plug-Induced Obturator Hernia With Neuralgia in a Middle-Aged Male Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Obturator hernia is a rare type of pelvic hernia most commonly seen in elderly women. We report a case of a middle-aged man who presented with obturator neuralgia caused by an obturator hernia containing only preperitoneal fat without bowel involvement. The patient underwent single-incision laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (SILS-TEP) repair, which promptly relieved his symptoms with no recurrence. This case highlights that a fat plug-type obturator hernia can cause neuralgia and demonstrates the efficacy of SILS-TEP as a minimally invasive treatment option.
