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

Hiatal hernia is a common finding in radiologic and gastroenterology evaluations. Here, we present a patient with an uncommon paraesophageal subtype who was managing her hiatal hernia symptoms conservatively and eventually developed the rare complication of mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus. The chronic history of this patient's hiatal hernia with classic complaints suggestive of gastric ischemia prompted clinical suspicion of volvulus. Here, we discuss the initial clinical presentation of this patient, imaging study, and emergent surgical intervention by robot-assisted laparoscopic gastric volvulus reduction, hiatal hernia repair, and Nissen fundoplication. Although the size and axis of rotation of this patient's volvulus made this case challenging, the prompt intervention prevented complications associated with volvulus and ischemia.
