Endoscopic and rectal tube management of pediatric sigmoid volvulus: A case series.
Article in JPGN reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The process of the sigmoid colon twisting on its mesentery is known as sigmoid volvulus, a diagnosis rarely seen in the pediatric population. Volvulus can lead to blood flow obstruction of the colon and eventually perforation, necrosis, or sepsis. Predisposing factors include chronic constipation, chronic dysmotility, or Hirschsprung disease. This communication demonstrates three patients who presented to a tertiary pediatric care center with a diagnosis of sigmoid volvulus. All three patients underwent immediate endoscopic detorsion and rectal decompression tube placement. Two patients subsequently underwent surgical resection of redundant sigmoid colon. This communication highlights the use of sigmoidoscopy for detorsion of uncomplicated sigmoid volvulus with added support for initial rectal decompression tube placement, contributing to initial patient stabilization and positive patient outcomes.
