Pediatric Sigmoid Volvulus: A Report on Two Cases.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Sigmoid volvulus is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in the pediatric age group. Rotation of the redundant sigmoid colon about its narrow mesenteric base results in vascular compromise and large bowel obstruction. Predisposing factors for sigmoid volvulus are Hirschsprung's disease, congenital anomalous fixation of the colon, and chronic constipation. Here, we report two cases of sigmoid volvulus in children with redundant sigmoid colon in the South Indian subcontinent. If it is not diagnosed in time, it may lead to serious complications such as gangrene, perforation, septic shock, and eventually death. Thus, the condition warrants prompt evaluation and treatment.
