Inflammatory markers as predictors of severity in adult incarcerated groin hernias - a retrospective comparative study.
Article in BMC surgery, 2026. 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
backgroundDiagnosing incarcerated groin hernia and predicting its progression to strangulation remains challenging. This study investigates whether blood inflammatory markers can aid in diagnosing incarcerated groin hernias and assessing their severity.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent surgery for incarcerated groin hernia between 2018 and 2024. Preoperative blood tests were performed, and patients were categorized into bowel resection and non-resection groups.
resultsAmong 203 patients, 78 required bowel resection. Significant differences were observed in hernia type, white blood cell count, neutrophil percentage, C-reactive protein, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and serum Sodium-ion levels between the two groups.
conclusionWhite blood cell count, neutrophil percentage, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and C-reactive protein are effective diagnostic markers for incarcerated groin hernia. Combining these inflammatory markers provides a reliable method for predicting disease severity.
