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

Midgut volvulus is a rare incidence in adults, especially in octogenarians. More unlikely is to find a midgut volvulus without necrosis or the need to do bowel resection when the volvulus is found within an internal hernia due to a mesenteric defect. No case has been reported with our unusual presentation, making it a rare and challenging discovery. We describe the case of an 83-year-old male who presented with nonspecific symptoms and was found to have a midgut volvulus with an internal hernia through a mesenteric defect, which had a successful recovery at the end.
