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
Hydrocele of the canal of Nuck is a rare pathology seen in adult women. Homologous with the processus vaginalis in men, pathologies of the canal of Nuck arise from a failure of obliteration of this tract. More commonly they present in children but rarely manifest in adults typically presenting as a painful lump which can be difficult to distinguish clinically from hernias. Cross-sectional imaging is key in diagnosis and surgery is the mainstay of treatment as it allows of excision of the hydrocoele and reinforcement of the defect to prevent subsequent hernias. While often the pathology is benign, malignancies have been documented and once excised the hydrocele should undergo pathological analysis to exclude such malignancies. Herein we present the case of a 44-year-old women who presented with a symptomatic hydrocele of the canal of Nuck confirmed on imaging that was successfully treated with a laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal approach.
