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

Gastric volvulus (GV) is a rare condition characterized by the rotation of all or part of the stomach around its transversal or longitudinal axis. We report the case of a 76-year-old woman with the acute form of GV, likely exacerbated by hiatal hernia and age-related ligamentous relaxation, evolving for a week before her admission. She underwent a midline laparotomy with fundoplication at 270° and anterior gastropexy. GV poses life-threatening risks in its acute presentation. Surgical management entails restoring the hemodynamic stability, surgical detorsion of the volvulus, and addressing the etiology (hiatal hernia).
