Colonic Volvulus.
Review in Clinics in colon and rectal surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Colonic volvulus represents 10 to 15% of all large bowel obstructions in the United States. It most commonly occurs in the sigmoid colon or cecum. Morbidity and mortality from colonic volvulus are high. It is therefore essential to have a high level of suspicion based on presentation and expedient diagnosis and management to prevent progression to ischemia or perforation. Broad goals of management include evaluation of colon viability, relief of obstruction, and prevention of recurrence. Endoscopic and surgical approaches vary based on the site of volvulus, presence of ischemia or perforation, and patient characteristics. This review outlines the epidemiology, presentation, diagnosis, and management of colonic volvulus. A contemporary diagnostic and treatment algorithm is included.
