Postoperative intestinal obstruction caused by staple-related internal hernia after laparoscopic appendectomy: a case report.
Article in Einstein (Sao Paulo, Brazil), 2026. 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
Postoperative intestinal obstruction is most commonly associated with adhesions but may also arise from unusual causes such as surgical staples adhering to adjacent structures. Although the use of endoscopic staplers in laparoscopic appendectomy is effective and generally safe, it can occasionally result in complications, including intestinal obstruction. We report the case of a 41-year-old woman who underwent surgical treatment for pelvic endometriosis, including appendectomy, and subsequently developed intestinal obstruction caused by an internal hernia formed by the entrapment of a surgical staple from the appendiceal suture line in the jejunal loop. The patient recovered uneventfully after laparoscopic release and removal of staple, with complete resolution of symptoms. This case underscores the importance of vigilance during staple application and reinforces the need for continued improvements in stapling techniques to prevent similar complications.
