Delayed presentation of midgut volvulus in 70-year-old patient: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Midgut rotation is uncommon to present in adult age group and can be complicated by midgut volvulus. Our patient is 70-year-old male, who presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain and constipation for 4 days. Enhanced abdominal computed tomography scan (CT) was done and showed typical findings of midgut volvulus, which are inversion of the mesenteric vessels and whirlpool sign. Patient had an exploratory laparotomy in which adhesiolysis, Ladd's procedure and appendectomy were done. The patient had uneventful postoperative recovery and was discharged after 6 days. Midgut malrotation results from failure of the midgut to rotate around the axis of the superior mesenteric artery. The presentation in adults are usually nonspecific and is low on the differential diagnosis, making enhanced abdominal CT the modality of choice. Midgut volvulus should be considered in cases of unexplained abdominal pain or bowel obstruction, even in adult age group. It requires emergent surgical intervention, so proceeding with urgent CT imaging is crucial.
