Cecal bascule in pregnancy: a case report and review of the literature.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
A 36-year-old female at 36 weeks' gestation presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain. She had no prior surgeries. Her pregnancy had been uncomplicated up until her presentation. Abdominal ultrasound was negative for cholecystitis or cholelithiasis, and the appendix was not visualized. During the second day of her hospital course, an abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed revealing dilated small intestine with air-fluid levels and an inverted-appearing, prominent cecum. She was urgently taken to the operating room for cesarean section followed by abdominal exploration. After delivery of the child, a cecal bascule was found, with a severely distended cecum. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a cecal bascule diagnosed by MRI, and the first diagnosis of cecal bascule in a pregnant patient requiring surgical intervention. We discuss the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of cecal bascule and review the current literature of reported cases.
