Preoperative Diagnosis of Amyand Hernia in the Emergency Department with Point-of-care Ultrasound: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical practice and cases in emergency medicine, 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
introductionAmyand hernia is a rare condition in which the appendix is found within an inguinal hernia sac, often mimicking incarcerated or strangulated hernias. Diagnosis is typically made intraoperatively, but increasing use of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is enhancing preoperative recognition. CASE REPORT: A 46-year-old male presented with a chronic, partially reducible inguinal hernia. Point-of-care ultrasound revealed a bowel-containing hernia with fluid. Computed tomography confirmed an inflamed appendix within the sac. Laparoscopic appendectomy and open hernia repair were performed without complications.
conclusionEarly use of POCUS can expedite diagnosis of Amyand hernia, improving surgical outcomes through timely intervention.
