Bowel Diameter at the Obturator Canal as a Predictor of Bowel Resection in Incarcerated Obturator Hernias.

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
Background: Obturator hernias are a relatively rare condition that predominantly occurs in thin elderly women and are frequently associated with bowel incarceration. Therefore, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are vital. This study aimed to identify risk factors for bowel resection in patients with incarcerated obturator hernias and evaluate the clinical benefits of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP). Methods: This retrospective study included 32 female patients diagnosed with incarcerated obturator hernias at our institution between January 2008 and June 2025. The patients were classified into bowel resection ( Results: The median age was 86 years and the median body mass index (BMI) was 17.1. The bowel resection group had a significantly longer symptom duration ( Conclusion: Symptom duration and bowel diameter at the obturator canal may serve as useful predictive factors for bowel resection in patients with incarcerated obturator hernias. TAPP is a minimally invasive and effective surgical strategy with favorable postoperative outcomes and the added advantage of bilateral hernia management.
