Gallbladder volvulus: An unexpected "twist".
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Gallbladder volvulus is a rare entity. It has been attributed to an elongated gallbladder mesentery, predisposing the gallbladder to twisting, obstructing the cystic duct and vessels, thus leading to ischemia and gangrene. Preoperative diagnosis can be elusive, but radiological features across multiple modalities have been described in the literature. We report a case of gallbladder volvulus in which the gallbladder appeared to be left-sided based on imaging, and present the radiological findings in keeping with a volvulus. Unlike cholecystitis, the treatment for volvulus is prompt detorsion and cholecystectomy; thus, accurate and timely diagnosis is paramount.
