Acute Colonic Pseudo-Obstruction: A Case of Ogilvie Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Ogilvie syndrome is a pseudo-obstruction of the large colon that does not contain any mechanical obstruction. This is a case of a 32-year-old female who presented to the emergency department (ED) for acute onset vomiting and intermittent watery diarrhea. Based on her presentation, physical exam, and computed tomography (CT) findings, she was diagnosed with Ogilvie syndrome. The pathophysiology of Ogilvie syndrome involves a disruption of normal colonic motility, leading to excessive gas and fluid accumulation. Abdominal imaging typically reveals a massively dilated colon with no evident obstructive lesion. Initial management is conservative and includes supportive measures such as bowel rest and decompression, and may include medications to enhance colonic motility. In severe cases, endoscopic or surgical intervention to relieve symptoms and prevent complications such as bowel ischemia or perforation may be necessary. Identifying and addressing underlying precipitating factors is crucial for effective treatment and preventing recurrence.
