De Garengeot Hernia Complicated by Groin Abscess and Perforated Appendix: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Clinical 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
De Garengeot hernia, defined as the presence of the vermiform appendix within a femoral hernia sac, is a rare cause of acute groin pathology and often presents atypically. We report the case of a 60-year-old male with diabetes mellitus and chronic corticosteroid use who presented with fever and a painful, erythematous, non-reducible right groin swelling without abdominal symptoms. Laboratory investigations showed marked leukocytosis and elevated C-reactive protein. Computed tomography revealed a right groin abscess with intralesional air. Emergency surgical exploration demonstrated a perforated appendix protruding through the femoral canal, consistent with De Garengeot hernia. Appendectomy with drainage was performed, followed by femoral hernia repair using a McVay technique without mesh due to contamination. The postoperative course was uneventful. Early recognition and prompt surgical management are essential to achieve favorable outcomes in this rare but potentially severe condition.
