Sigmoid volvulus in an adolescent female: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introduction and importanceSigmoid volvulus is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in children and adolescent population. It's considered a disease of the elderly with a widely varying incidence worldwide. It is more common in areas referred to as "volvulus belt" (Middle East, Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Turkey, and South America). CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 16-year-old female who underwent emergency laparotomy for intestinal obstruction. We found a twisted sigmoid volvulus in 360 CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Sigmoid volvulus remains an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction among the adolescent age group. A high index of suspicion is necessary to reach a diagnosis and manage accordingly. Delay in diagnosis can lead to complications such as necrosis and perforation of the twisted colon.
conclusionWe present a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in a 16-year-old female due to sigmoid volvulus. Early diagnosis and management reduce morbidity and mortality.
