Atraumatic Transdiaphragmatic Intercostal Hernia Following a Coughing Spell: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Transdiaphragmatic intercostal herniations are rare clinical entities that require precise management. Although risk factors are not well established, these defects do occur in clinical practice. Of the several reported cases of transdiaphragmatic intercostal hernias, few have involved the liver and large bowel. The present case illustrates a rare finding of a 60-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department experiencing severe pain and shortness of breath after feeling a "pop" on the right side of his chest following a violent episode of coughing that had been ongoing for a couple of days. Imaging revealed a right seventh rib fracture with herniation and incarceration of the liver and large bowel within the intercostal space. Our case highlights the importance of diagnostic imaging, clinical management, and surgical considerations when managing patients with this rare surgical entity.
