Preoperative diagnosis of Amyand's hernia complicated by strangulated acute appendicitis: a case report and literature review.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. 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
Amyand's hernia (AH) is a rare clinical entity characterized by the presence of the appendix within an inguinal hernia sac, with or without associated appendicitis, and is rarely diagnosed preoperatively due to its nonspecific clinical presentation. We report the case of a 66-year-old woman who presented with an irreducible right inguinal swelling accompanied by severe right lower abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed an inflamed appendix within the hernial sac, consistent with a strangulated AH. The patient underwent appendectomy along with hernia repair, with an uneventful postoperative recovery. Although acute appendicitis within an AH is typically identified intraoperatively, advances in imaging (particularly CT scanning) allow accurate preoperative diagnosis and facilitate appropriate surgical planning. Management should be tailored according to Losanoff and Basson's classification, with appendectomy and hernia repair being an effective approach for type II AH cases.
