Cecal volvulus as a rare complication of internal hernia after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: a case report and literature review.

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
This case report describes a rare instance of cecal volvulus resulting from an internal hernia through Petersen's space, occurring 20 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, marking it as the second such case in English literature. An 81-year-old female presented with symptoms of bowel obstruction, and imaging findings concerning for cecal volvulus. Emergency surgery revealed necrotic bowel due to an internal hernia, necessitating a right hemicolectomy, with subsequent successful anastomosis and hernia defect closure. The incidence of internal hernias post-gastric bypass is notable, emphasizing the critical need for surgical vigilance. This case underscores the importance of considering internal hernias in differential diagnoses for bowel obstruction in post-bariatric surgery patients, highlighting the life-saving role of prompt surgical intervention in the management of cecal volvulus complications.
