Strangulated inguinal hernia with testicular gangrene and bowel ischemia.
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
Strangulated inguinal hernia is a common surgical emergency; however, associated testicular gangrene with concomitant bowel ischemia in adults is exceptionally rare. We report the case of a 69-year-old male who presented with systemic instability and an incarcerated right inguinal hernia. Clinical deterioration necessitated urgent exploratory laparotomy, which revealed a strangulated segment of small bowel extending into the inguinal canal. Bowel resection with primary anastomosis was performed. Further exploration demonstrated complete gangrene of the spermatic cord and testis, requiring right orchiectomy. The patient developed postoperative pulmonary embolism and partial small bowel obstruction, which were managed successfully with multidisciplinary care. He was discharged in stable condition. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and prompt surgical intervention in complicated inguinal hernias to prevent catastrophic vascular compromise of bowel and testicular structures.
