Clinical predictors of bowel resection in incarcerated femoral hernias: A single-center cohort study.

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
purposeIncarcerated femoral hernias carry a notoriously high risk of bowel strangulation due to the rigid anatomy of the femoral ring. This study aimed to determine the clinical, demographic, and baseline laboratory predictors of irreversible bowel ischemia requiring resection in a strictly homogeneous cohort of patients undergoing emergency surgery for incarcerated femoral hernias.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted on 100 consecutive patients who underwent emergency surgical repair for incarcerated femoral hernias between January 2019 and December 2023 at a single tertiary referral center. Patients were stratified into two cohorts based on the intraoperative requirement for bowel resection: the Resection Group (n = 23) and the Non-Resection Group (n = 77). Preoperative clinical data, demographic features, body mass index (BMI), symptom duration, and admission white blood cell (WBC) counts were analyzed using univariate analysis and multivariate binary logistic regression to isolate independent risk factors.
resultsIntestinal resection was required in 23% of cases. In the multivariable logistic regression model, an elevated admission white blood cell (WBC) count (OR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.09-1.41, p < 0.001) and prolonged symptom duration (OR = 1.72, 95% CI: 1.05-2.82, p = 0.031) were identified as independent predictors of bowel resection. ROC analysis identified a WBC cut-off of 12.3 × 10
conclusionAdmission leukocytosis and prolonged symptom duration were identified as independent predictors of bowel resection in patients with incarcerated femoral hernias. These readily available clinical parameters may assist in preoperative risk stratification; however, the post-hoc subgroup findings should be interpreted with caution and require prospective multicenter validation.
