Validating the Cattell-Braasch maneuver with a case of inherent atypical malrotation of the bowel: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMalrotation of the bowel due to imperfect embryologic development is a rare condition with a wide spectrum of resulting anatomical variations. Similar conditions are achieved in the adult by derotating the bowel via the Cattell-Braasch maneuver. However, possible preparational bias might compromise the resulting topography. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of atypical malrotation of the bowel in a cadaver study using a 96-year-old Caucasian male specimen with incidental finding of the pathology post mortem with no known surgical intervention in the abdomen during his lifetime. We compare the topography and abdominal layers with the anatomy of a 98-year-old Caucasian female specimen where the Cattell-Braasch maneuver was used to revert the embryologic development.
conclusionsReverting the embryologic development in the adult via Cattell-Braasch maneuver enables to mirror inherent malrotation and reestablishes the position of the bowel prior to its rotation. The Cattell-Braasch maneuver is further validated in this study by showing that it is able to demonstrate essential layers for surgical interventions without damaging their integrity. Atypical malrotation unmasks those fascial border-like layers, which are often hidden due to adhesions and fusing of tissue during the usual embryologic development. Developmental defects present a chance to explore essential surgical layers that are otherwise masked by artifacts due to fusion of layers of connective tissue.
