1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Paraduodenal hernia is a rare congenital internal hernia and an uncommon cause of small bowel obstruction (SBO). We report two cases from a single center: a 48-year-old female with a left-sided hernia presenting with SBO and a postoperative pulmonary embolism, and a 24-year-old male with a right-sided hernia complicated by bowel ischemia requiring right hemicolectomy. Both cases were diagnosed preoperatively using abdominal computed tomography and managed surgically with favorable outcomes. Paraduodenal hernias account for <1% of SBO cases and are classified as left-sided (~75%) or right-sided (~25%). Early recognition and prompt surgical intervention are essential, with open surgery often preferred for complicated cases. These cases emphasize the importance of considering paraduodenal hernia in patients with SBO and a virgin abdomen and highlight the role of vigilant postoperative monitoring to prevent morbidity and complications.
