Peritoneal Inclusion Cysts Presenting as a Femoral Hernia: 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
Peritoneal inclusion cysts (PICs) are rare benign mesothelial cystic proliferations, typically occurring in women with prior abdominopelvic pathology. We report a case of a woman in her 70s presenting with an irreducible groin mass, found to have a concurrent fatty indirect inguinal hernia and femoral hernia containing multiloculated PICs in the absence of known risk factors, including prior abdominopelvic surgery or inflammation. Preoperative ultrasound suggested a hydrocoele of the canal of Nuck. Intraoperative exploration revealed a multiloculated cystic lesion within the femoral canal containing straw-coloured fluid without internal communication. The lesion was excised, and histopathology confirmed PICs without malignancy. This case highlights an atypical presentation of PICs in an older patient without predisposing factors and demonstrates the potential for diagnostic misinterpretation on imaging. Clinicians should consider PICs as a differential in cystic groin masses, even in the absence of typical risk factors.
