Factors precipitating volvulus formation in sigmoid volvulus.
Article in Ulusal travma ve acil cerrahi dergisi = Turkish journal of trauma & emergency surgery : TJTES, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundSigmoid volvulus (SV), the wrapping of the sigmoid colon around itself, is a rare intestinal obstruction form world-wide. For this reason, the physiopathology of SV, particularly the precipitating factors, are not clearly identified. The aim of this study is to evaluate the precipitating factors in SV.
methodsThe clinical records of consecutive 416 patients with SV were reviewed prospectively from January 1986 to July 2020. As a control, the records of consecutive 100 patients with non-volvulus intestinal obstruction were reviewed prospectively in the past 24 months. The premorbid symptoms including acute diarrhea, sudden and excessive body motions, overeating after a prolonged starvation, coughing spell, and labor was evaluated.
resultsAmong the premorbid symptoms, 1-5-day interval of diarrhea (42 patients, 10.1%, p<0.05), harvesting activation (35 patients, 8.4%, p<0.05), and overeating after Ramadan fasting (31 patients, 7.5%, p<0.05) were found to be statistically significant precipitating factors in SV.
conclusionAlthough there are few studies about the precipitating factors of SV in the literature, increased bowel motility, excessive body motions, and overeating following a prolonged starvation look like the precipitating factors in the development of SV.
