Laparoscopic Colectomy for Cecal Cancer and Intestinal Malrotation: A Case Report.
Article in Cancer diagnosis & prognosis. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background/Aim: Intestinal malrotation (IM) often remains undetected until adulthood, being discovered during testing or surgery for other comorbidities. Preoperative understanding of this anatomical abnormality is crucial. Case Report: An 80-year-old woman presented with cecal cancer. Three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) revealed that the cecum was located at the midline of the abdominal cavity, the duodenum did not cross the midline, and the ileocolic vein ran to the left. Clinically diagnosed with stage IVc cecal cancer complicated by IM, the patient underwent laparoscopic surgery. The ascending colon and cecum were not fixed to the retroperitoneum. The duodenum lacked the second, third, and fourth portions and the small bowel was distributed on the left and right sides of the abdominal cavity. Adhesions had shortened the mesentery, which were released close to their normal positions. Conclusion: Although laparoscopic surgery is superior to open surgery in terms of securing the field of view in a narrow space, providing a magnifying effect, and minimal invasiveness, it has a limited field of view and is inferior in terms of grasping the overall anatomy, which may be disadvantageous in cases of anatomical abnormalities. Colorectal cancer with IM is rare; however, the rate of preoperative diagnosis seems to be increasing thanks to improvements in diagnostic imaging, such as three-dimensional CT scans. In this study, we also reviewed 49 cases of colorectal cancer associated with IM.
