Amyand Hernia Presenting As Acute Appendicitis: A Pediatric 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
Inguinal hernias are among the most common surgeries performed by general surgeons, with more than 20 million repairs occurring globally every year. An Amyand hernia (AH) is a rare atypical inguinal hernia characterized by herniation of the appendix in the inguinal sac. Often occurring in the pediatric population, this type of hernia can often go overlooked due to its presentation that mimics acute appendicitis. Even with a proper work-up, this type of hernia is often particularly challenging to identify, even with ultrasonography or computed tomography. In this report, we present a case of AH that was discovered during an emergent appendectomy for an eight-year-old male patient.
