1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Gastric volvulus is an uncommon condition characterized by the rotation of the stomach on its own mesentery. Wandering spleen (WS), defined by the excessive mobility of the spleen, is another rare entity. Although both conditions share a common cause, the absence or laxity of their supporting ligaments, their coexistence is rarely documented. Both can be life-threatening if left untreated. We report a case of an adult male patient presenting with intestinal obstruction secondary to gastric volvulus, in whom a WS was incidentally diagnosed.
