Ileostomy volvulus as an underreported problem causing small bowel obstruction in patients living with ostomy: a case report and literature review.
Article in Annals of coloproctology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeIleostomy volvulus is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction. We present an unusual case of ileostomy volvulus without the presence of adhesions. Additionally, a systematic literature review was performed to collate the current literature on the causes, diagnosis, treatment, and preventative measures of ileostomy-related small bowel obstruction.
methodsPubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, Google Scholar, Scopus, and CENTRAL were searched from their inception up to August 2022. This study adhered to the PRISMA guidelines and was registered on PROSPERO. The primary outcomes included patients' demographics, imaging modality, indication for initial surgery, type and configuration of stoma, surgical treatment, and recurrence of volvulus. The quality of included studies was assessed using the Murad tool. Written informed consent was obtained from the patient.
resultsSeven studies were included, comprising 967 patients. Stoma outlet obstruction (SOO) was reported in all 159 patients, and 12 had ileostomy volvulus as the cause. A majority of patients had loop ostomies for ileostomy volvulus. No complications or mortality were reported in the included studies, and half of the included studies were deemed to be of good quality.
conclusionThis case demonstrates the need for high clinical suspicion of SOO in patients with loop ileostomy, and rapid management should be undertaken. Whilst loop ileostomies, increased rectus abdominal muscle thickness, and lower preoperative total glucocorticoid dosage are associated with SOO, large-scale retrospective studies are needed to validate our findings.
