Primary Ventral Hernia as an Uncommon Cause of Small Bowel Obstruction in a Surgically Naïve Patient: A Clinical Case Report.
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
Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common surgical emergency with multiple etiologies, including adhesions, malignancy, and hernias. In patients with no prior abdominal surgery, incarcerated hernias are an uncommon but important cause of mechanical obstruction. We report the case of a 44-year-old African-American woman with no surgical history who presented with progressive abdominal pain, bilious vomiting, and a nonreducible ventral abdominal wall mass. Prompt surgical exploration revealed a 4-cm incarcerated ventral hernia with compromised omentum. Early recognition and timely operative intervention prevented bowel ischemia and resulted in an uncomplicated recovery. This case highlights the importance of considering ventral hernia as a cause of SBO in patients with a surgically naïve abdomen and reinforces the need for rapid operative management to prevent serious complications.
