Small bowel obstruction due to herniation through the foramen of Winslow in an elderly patient: a case report.

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
Herniation through the foramen of Winslow is a rare internal hernia and an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction. An 88-year-old man presented with epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting for 2 days without previous abdominal surgery. Physical examination showed mild abdominal distension without peritoneal signs. Computed tomography demonstrated dilated small bowel loops within the lesser sac behind the stomach, suggesting herniation through the foramen of Winslow. Emergency laparotomy confirmed herniation of the ileum and cecum into the lesser sac. The bowel was congested but viable and was reduced without resection. Because of excessive mobility of the right colon, the cecum was fixed to the abdominal wall. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged in stable condition. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are essential for favorable outcomes.
