Cecal bascule: a systematic review of the literature.
Synthesis in Techniques in coloproctology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
backgroundCecal volvulus is a rare clinical entity with an average incidence of 2.8-7.1 per million people per year, accounting for 1-2% of all large bowel obstructions. Cecal bascule is the rarest type of cecal volvulus, accounting for 5-20% of all cases. Although several case reports have been published, there is no consensus regarding its diagnosis and treatment. The aim of this study was to review the literature on cecal bascule in order to summarize the etiopathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment options.
methodsThe PubMed, MEDLINE, and Scopus databases were systematically searched by two independent authors. Cecal bascule was defined as anterior displacement of the distended cecum on the ascending colon without any torsion. The etiopathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment options were analyzed.
resultsNineteen previously published papers reporting on 26 patients were included. The mean age of patients from previously reported cases was 55.1 ± 19.2 years, and 54% of all patients were males. Presenting symptoms included abdominal pain in 16 (61%), distension in 22 (84%), and vomiting in eight patients (30%). The mean time to diagnosis was 3.6 ± 2.6 days. The extent of surgery varied from cecopexy to right colectomy. There was no postoperative mortality. Cecal bascule recurred one 1 year after index surgery in one patient.
conclusionsCecal bascule is a rare clinical entity, which is mostly encountered in patients with peritoneal adhesions, mobile cecum, bowel dysfunction, and cecal displacement. In patients with recurrent or persistent abdominal pain and distension, cecal bascule should be considered. The majority of these patients require surgical management.
