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

Intestinal malrotation (IM), a rare congenital anomaly disrupting typical embryonic rotation around the superior mesenteric artery, is exceptionally uncommon in adults, with its link to colon cancer being even rarer. This article presents a case of colonic cancer in conjunction with IM in a 63-year-old male. Image studies and intraoperative findings show signs of IM. Open resection was performed due to concerns about vascular anomalies and abnormal lymphatic drainage. The case underscores the rarity of colon cancer in a malrotated gut, highlighting the necessity of preoperative identification for precise surgical planning and emphasizing the importance of careful dissection to prevent inadvertent vascular injury.
