Amyand's Hernia Presenting With Acute Enlargement of a Chronic Right Inguinal Hernia: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in surgery, 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 a rare condition characterized by the presence of the vermiform appendix within an inguinal hernia sac, which may or may not be inflamed. We present the case of a 43-year-old male with a 3-year history of right inguinal hernia who presented to the emergency department with acute enlargement of the hernia sac and associated discomfort. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a right inguinal hernia containing an inflamed appendix, consistent with acute appendicitis, with periappendiceal stranding but no abscess formation. The patient denied recent trauma or bowel habit changes, though he reported chronic constipation. This report highlights the importance of imaging in diagnosing rare hernia contents and discusses the management controversies associated with Amyand's hernia.
