De Garengeot's Hernia Mimicking Acute Coronary Syndrome and Complicated by Acute Iliofemoral Deep Vein Thrombosis: A 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
De Garengeot's hernia (DGH) is a rare condition defined by the presence of the vermiform appendix within a femoral hernia sac. We report the case of a 65-year-old female smoker on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with a known history of a right groin hernia who presented with epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting. Due to elevated troponin levels, she was initially admitted to the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) for suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and started on dual antiplatelet therapy and full anticoagulation. Following a four-day diagnostic workup that ruled out ACS, a targeted physical examination and bedside ultrasound identified an incarcerated femoral hernia. A subsequent contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed an incarcerated DGH associated with a concurrent, mechanical deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the right external iliac and common femoral veins. Despite recent antiplatelet and anticoagulant exposure, the patient underwent an urgent appendectomy and an anterior mesh-based femoral hernia repair with an uneventful recovery.
