Adult Bochdalek hernia incarcerated after laparoscopic nephrectomy: a case report.
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
Adult Bochdalek hernia (BH) is rare and often asymptomatic, but it can occasionally lead to life-threatening complications such as bowel obstruction or strangulation. Latent BHs may become clinically apparent following abdominal surgery, possibly due to increased intra-abdominal pressure or postoperative anatomical changes. We report the case of an 81-year-old man who developed an incarcerated left-sided BH after laparoscopic nephrectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma. The patient presented with acute bowel obstruction caused by herniation of the transverse colon into the thoracic cavity and required emergency surgery. This case highlights the potential for asymptomatic BHs to progress after minimally invasive surgery and raises the question of whether elective repair should be considered in selected high-risk adult patients. This emphasizes the importance of early recognition.
