Uncommon but Significant: A Case of Primary Lumbar Hernia Treated With Open Mesh Repair.
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
We present a case of a male in his late 50s who reported a painless swelling in the left lumbar region, noticed 15 days earlier. Examination revealed a soft, reducible swelling. Contrast-enhanced CT identified a 2.8 × 2.8 cm defect in the inferior lumbar triangle containing omentum and large bowel. An open mesh repair was performed, confirming the diagnosis intraoperatively. The patient had an uneventful recovery. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 3 after drain removal, and was reviewed one week after discharge on an outpatient basis, where it was found to be healthy and sutures removed. The patient was followed up one and two months after discharge, and no recurrence was noted. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of lumbar hernias due to their subtle presentation and rarity.
