A Rare Surgical Case of a Posterior Rectus Sheath Hernia Causing Small Bowel Obstruction.
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
Intraparietal hernias are a rare type of ventral hernia in which the hernia sac is located between abdominal wall layers. A posterior rectus sheath hernia, as described in this case, is a type of intraparietal hernia in which the hernia sac is located between the defect in the posterior sheath and an intact anterior sheath. These hernias can pose a diagnostic challenge and carry a higher risk of incarceration and strangulation, given the intraparietal location and often small size of the defect. Posterior rectus sheath hernias are rare, with only a few reported in the literature. In this case report, we describe a posterior rectus sheath hernia causing small bowel obstruction in a 41-year-old female patient with a surgical history of a cesarean section six weeks prior to presentation.
