Gastric Outlet Obstruction Caused by Acute Gastric Volvulus: A Rare Complication of Hiatal Hernia.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 hernias are commonly encountered in elderly patients, predisposing patients to the common condition of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Depending on the size of the hernia, different complications can arise. Large hernias can lead to development of gastric volvulus, obstruction, strangulation, and perforation. Therefore, management of large hiatal hernias is crucial to avoid such complications. In this paper, we describe a patient who presented with acute gastric volvulus secondary to a large hiatal hernia. She improved with conservative management and subsequently underwent successful repair of the hernia. We emphasized the importance of identifying gastric volvulus among its vague presentation for prompt management.
