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

Colonic volvulus may infrequently occur in the transverse colon, and synchronous double volvulus is a rarely reported phenomenon in the literature. Additionally, intestinal volvulus is a rare but serious complication that has been reported in scleroderma and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. We report a 26-year-old patient with a history of scleroderma-SLE overlap syndrome who presented with an acute abdomen. CT imaging revealed a transverse colon volvulus and a cecal bascule (cecal volvulus). To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of synchronous double volvulus of the transverse colon and cecum. Additionally, this is the second reported case of transverse colon volvulus occurring in a patient with scleroderma and the first case in a patient with scleroderma-SLE overlap syndrome.
