Amyand's hernia, a rare finding for left incarcerated inguinal hernia in an infant: a case report.
Article in International journal of surgery 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
Introduction and clinical importance: Amyand's hernia is a rare finding for pediatric inguinal hernia surgery. However, the left-sided location of Amyand's hernia is extremely rare. Case presentation: We report the case of a 2-year-old patient who was admitted for an incarcerated left inguinoscrotal hernia with intraoperative diagnosis of Amyand's hernia. Appendectomy and patent vaginalis ligation were done. Follow-up abdominal ultrasound and chest X-ray did not find midgut malrotation or situs inversus. Three months postoperatively, the patient is asymptomatic. Clinical discussion: In children presenting with a left incarcerated inguinal hernia, Amyand's hernia remains a differential diagnosis. Thinking of it preoperatively will allow the surgeon to prepare for different intraoperative possibilities and act according to current recommendations in the pediatric population. Conclusion: Despite its rarity, left-sided Amyand's hernia should be considered in an incarcerated left inguinal hernia.
