Surgical management of large bowel obstruction and significant hepatic displacement caused by Chilaiditi syndrome.

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
Chilaiditi's sign is the presence of pseudopneumoperitoneum caused by colonic distension and interposition with the liver on radiographic films. Most patients with Chilaiditi's sign are asymptomatic. Chilaiditi's syndrome is defined as the development of abdominal pain or symptoms of bowel obstruction along with the presence of Chilaiditi's sign. It is a rare entity and it poses significant diagnostic challenges due to its similar radiographic appearance to pneumoperitoneum. Most patients with Chilaiditi syndrome can be managed conservatively. However, surgery is indicated for those who do not respond to conservative management or for suspicion of severe complications such as bowel ischaemia or perforation. In this case report, we described the surgical management of a patient who presented with bowel obstruction and significant hepatic displacement from Chilaiditi syndrome.
