Internal Hernia Through a Mesenteric Defect Presenting As Midgut Volvulus: A Rare and Intriguing Coexistence.
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
Internal hernias through mesenteric defects are a rare cause of bowel obstruction. Early recognition and intervention are crucial for preventing bowel ischemia and subsequent complications. We report a case of a 64-year-old female who presented with acute intestinal obstruction secondary to an internal hernia associated with volvulus. She had a previous surgical history of exploratory laparotomy 25 years back. This case illustrates the diagnostic challenges of internal hernias and emphasizes the importance of considering this entity in patients with previous abdominal surgery presenting with bowel obstruction. A CT scan helps in prompt diagnosis, and early surgery is required for the management. The concurrent finding of midgut volvulus adds to the uniqueness of this presentation.
