Traumatic transfemoral bowel evisceration following bull horn injury: a case report and review of literature.
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
Bull horn injuries produce complex shearing and penetrating forces capable of causing occult abdominal wall disruption with visceral herniation. We report a rare case of bowel evisceration through the thigh following bull horn injury associated with pelvic fractures and traumatic inguino-femoral disruption. A 55-year-old female presented to the emergency with bowel loops protruding through a lacerated wound over the anterolateral aspect of the right thigh following a bull horn injury. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis revealed herniation of ileal loops with mesentery through a large right lower abdominal wall defect with possible femoral canal involvement. Exploratory laparotomy revealed mesenteric tears and traumatic disruption of the inguinal region allowing bowel migration into the thigh. Reduction of bowel loops, repair of mesentery, peritoneal lavage and inguinal ligament repair were performed successfully. This case highlights the importance of suspecting occult abdominal wall and inguino-femoral disruption in atypical bowel evisceration patterns following animal-inflicted trauma.
