Adult Intestinal Malrotation With Congenital Transverse Meso-Colic Internal Hernia: An Infrequent Cause of Small Bowel Obstruction.
Article in Cureus, 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
Adult intestinal malrotation along with congenital transverse-mesocolic internal hernia causing small bowel obstruction is extremely rare. Most of these patients don't have any obvious clinical symptoms. Only a few cases have been documented in the English literature. We present the unique case of a 43-year-old male without any prior surgical history who presented with nonspecific abdominal pain and was diagnosed with malrotation of the small intestine by computed tomography (CT) scan and underwent exploratory laparotomy found to have internal herniation through the transverse-mesocolon. The patient underwent an emergency laparotomy; a Ladd's procedure and repair of the hernial orifice were performed. This case highlights the association of adult intestinal malrotation with internal hernias and small bowel obstruction; it also explores the importance of timely diagnosis and adequate management of this condition.
