Quadruple (1440 degrees) intestinal volvulus.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Key Clinical Message: A whirl sign on contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scan is indicative of intestine twisted around the mesenteric vessels, and is observed in cases of strangulated obstruction, signaling compromised intestinal circulation. In cases of intestinal volvulus, surgery is necessary to untwist the affected bowel, and resection is necessary if necrosis is present. Abstract: A 31-year-old Japanese man presented with acute lower abdominal pain and vomiting. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a 1440-degree clockwise torsion of superior mesenteric artery and a whirl sign. Intestinal volvulus in adulthood with a background of malrotation is extremely rare. Contrast-enhanced CT is effective for diagnosis.
