1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundMesentero-axial gastric volvulus (MAGV) is an uncommon subtype of gastric volvulus (GV). However, reports of such cases in adult patients are very rare. We present an unusual case of idiopathic MAGV in an old woman. CASE PRESENTATION: An 84-year-old woman was referred to the emergency department for vomiting and abdominal pain. An abdominal computed tomography scan revealed a mesentero-axial gastric volvulus, which could be corrected endoscopically, and the symptoms were relieved. Contrast-enhanced examination was performed before the elective surgery to confirm the presence of short-axis dorsal 180-degree volvulus. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery on a wait-and-watch basis. After releasing the torsion, the stomach returned to normal position. The gastric fornix was sutured to the left diaphragm and the gastric body and antrum were sutured to the abdominal wall using non-absorbable thread. Symptoms did not flare after the surgery.

conclusionsWe experienced a rare case of adult MAGV presenting with incomplete obstruction. Laparoscopic gastropexy is useful when gastric decompression is achieved.
