Transmesocolon internal hernia masking as simple sigmoid volvulus.

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
Transmesocolon internal hernias are very rare causes of bowel obstruction. Transmesenteric internal hernias normally associated with small bowel. It can be challenging to diagnose transmesocolon internal hernia hence we present a 93-year-old patient who was misdiagnosed with simple sigmoid volvulus on CT abdomen. She underwent endoscopic colonic decompression. Patient continued to deteriorate in the ward, and CT abdomen was repeated; it revealed the cause of the sigmoid volvulus was due to a defect through transverse mesocolon resulting in internal hernia. Patient was diagnosed with transmesocolic internal hernia with sigmoid volvulus. Patient underwent emergency laparotomy and Hartmann procedure. Transmesocolic internal hernia can be easily missed and needs to be considered when diagnosing patients with large bowel volvulus or obstruction.
