Perforated appendicitis in Amyand's hernia with generalized peritonitis: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Amyand's hernia is an uncommon inguinal hernia containing the vermiform appendix. Preoperative diagnosis remains difficult, and many cases are recognized only during surgery. We report a 64-year-old man with a 33-year history of a reducible right inguinal hernia who presented with 5 days of irreducibility, groin pain, fever, and diffuse abdominal pain. Examination showed generalized peritonitis. Ultrasonography demonstrated a fluid-filled right inguinal hernia sac containing a tubular structure, free intraperitoneal fluid, and dilated bowel loops. Emergency inguinal exploration released purulent fluid and revealed the cecum with a gangrenous perforated appendix inside the hernia sac. Because purulent material tracked freely through the internal ring, the procedure was immediately converted to lower midline laparotomy. Appendectomy, abdominal lavage, drainage, and tissue-based hernia repair without mesh were performed. The patient recovered well and was discharged on postoperative day 16.
