Recurrent Ogilvie Syndrome as a Possible Manifestation of Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS) Requiring Surgical Management: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We present a case of a male in his 60s with a history of alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) who presented with recurrent acute colonic pseudo-obstruction, also known as Ogilvie syndrome, and underwent surgical treatment for life-limiting symptoms of colonic distention, constipation, and abdominal pain. Prior to surgery, he was hospitalized multiple times after beef consumption and was diagnosed with Ogilvie syndrome, requiring a colonoscopy with rectal tube placement for symptom resolution. He later underwent a robotic subtotal colectomy with ileocolic anastomosis. Follow-up visits showed improvement in symptoms of constipation and abdominal distention. This case highlights that AGS may lead to severe manifestations, such as recurrent Ogilvie syndrome. Due to the increasing prevalence of AGS and limited data on disease course, further research is needed to determine symptom manifestations and the potential utility of surgery in management.
