Perforation of the cecum resulting from a closed-loop obstruction in a patient with an adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon: a case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
introductionBowel obstruction is one of the principal non-traumatic causes of general surgery emergencies, both in Brazil and worldwide. This condition can be classified according to the degree (complete or incomplete), clinical course (acute or chronic) or nature (mechanical, vascular or functional) of the obstruction. CASE REPORT: ESS, a 62-year old Brazilian woman from Rio de Janeiro, was admitted to the emergency department complaining of constipation of two weeks' duration. She also reported fever and fecal vomiting in the preceding two days.A syndromic diagnosis of bowel obstruction was made, and the patient was referred for CT. The sigmoid colon, descending colon, transverse colon, ascending colon, the cecum and the terminal ileum were resected. DISCUSSION: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in the elderly, perforation of the cecum occurs in only around 3-8% of cases. 15 This can be explained by the fact that patients with colorectal cancer present with wasting syndrome before the bowel lumen becomes completely obstructed. In a literature review conducted for this study, only one publication was found in which rupture of the cecum was associated with colorectal cancer.
conclusionAlthough rupture of the cecum associated with colorectal cancer is a rare pathology, it constitutes a surgical emergency; therefore, all surgeons should be aware of the possibility.
