Amyand's Hernia in an Incarcerated Right Inguinoscrotal Hernia: Surgical Management of a Rare 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
Amyand's hernia is an uncommon form of inguinal hernia in which the appendix is found within the hernia sac. Inflammation of the appendix in this setting is exceptionally rare, and the diagnosis is most often confirmed during surgery rather than before. We report a case of Amyand's hernia presenting as an incarcerated right inguinoscrotal hernia in a 56-year-old male. Emergency surgical exploration revealed an inflamed but non-perforated appendix within the hernia sac, confirming the diagnosis. Appendectomy and hernia repair were performed using the Bassini technique, with mesh avoided due to the suspicion of contamination. The case highlights the diagnostic challenges, intraoperative findings, and surgical management considerations of this rare clinical entity. Amyand's hernia is a rare and often unexpected intraoperative finding. Early recognition and appropriate surgical management, tailored to the condition of the appendix, are crucial to optimize outcomes.
