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

Intestinal malrotation is an infrequent congenital anomaly. Its presentation in adults is rare, and it is usually discovered incidentally. This article presents an extremely rare case of an adult patient presenting with obstructing colon cancer associated with intestinal malrotation. This is the ninth case to be published in the past 40 years. After proper resuscitation and imaging, an open resection was performed for the patient due to unresolving obstruction and significant abdominal distention. This case highlights the rarity of colon cancer in a malrotated gut and the importance of preoperative evaluation of the unique anatomy before surgical intervention. It also discusses the possible surgical options for such patients with obstruction due to colon cancer causing suboptimal circumstances for both minimally invasive intervention and reestablishment of bowel continuity.
