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
Ileosigmoid Knotting is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction which occurs as a consequence of ileum or sigmoid colon wrapping around the base of each other resulting in double closed-loop bowel obstruction. We report a case of a 52-year-old male who presented in the emergency department with sudden onset of abdominal pain and vomiting. On clinical examination, the abdomen was tender and distended. A chest and abdomen x-ray showed a distended stomach and no sign of bowel obstruction. A computed tomographic scan (CT) revealed a closed-loop intestinal obstruction. We planned urgent Surgery, and the finding was an Ileosigmoid knotting typeIIA is rarely encountered in surgical practice.
