A Case Report of Amyand's Hernia in a Previously Mesh-Repaired Groin: Surgical Decision-Making in a Contaminated Field.

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 is a rare clinical entity defined by the presence of the vermiform appendix within an inguinal hernia sac, and its management remains controversial, particularly in the presence of contamination and prior mesh repair. We report the case of a 74-year-old man presenting with acute right inguinal pain suggestive of a strangulated recurrent inguinal hernia. Intraoperatively, a gangrenous appendix was identified within the hernia sac with purulent contamination. Appendectomy and peritoneal lavage were performed via a combined inguinal and McBurney approach. Due to contamination, no new mesh was placed, while the previously implanted mesh was preserved.
