An Unexpected Twist: Sigmoid Volvulus Complicated by Peritoneal Metastases.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Sigmoid volvulus is the mechanical torsion of the sigmoid colon, its mesentery, and blood supply around itself, resulting in luminal obstruction and colonic ischemia. Initial management typically involves endoscopic detorsion; however, patients with peritonitis or who fail endoscopic therapy warrant surgical intervention. This case illustrates the rare presentation of recurrent sigmoid volvulus, which was refractory to endoscopic detorsion due to complications of peritoneal metastases, which tethered the sigmoid into a torsed position, ultimately requiring surgical resection. This report emphasizes the need for tailored, collaborative approaches to managing sigmoid volvulus in patients with underlying malignancy.
