1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Cecal bascule is a rare type of volvulus of the colon and requires a mobile cecum and ascending colon, which could be due to congenital or acquired anatomic abnormalities. Inflammatory conditions that cause acute changes in colonic mobility or motility may contribute to development of volvulus, as described in other types of colonic obstruction. Patients with risk factors for a mobile proximal colon presenting with obstructive symptoms should undergo prompt diagnostic evaluation for volvulus to allow for timely intervention. We report an unusual case of invasive cytomegalovirus colitis presenting as cecal bascule in a kidney transplant recipient.
