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

Volvulus of the midgut involves twisting of the small bowel around its mesenteric axis. It is frequently associated with malrotation in children, it can also be attributed to other causes such as tumors. Mesenteric lymphangiomas account for only 5% of all lymphangiomas, and small bowel lymphangiomas represent less than 1% of all cases. The combination of small bowel volvulus secondary to a lymphangioma is exceedingly rare, with only a handful of cases reported in the literature. Our case was a 3 years old patient, admitted for acute abdominal pain. The abdominal radiological explorations found a large lobulated cystic mass occupying the entire pelvic cavity and surrounding digestive structures, suggestive of a mesenteric cystic lymphangioma, with a volvulus of the mesenteric pedicle creating a whirlpool sign. The patient underwent surgery and recovered well.
