Second-Look Surgery for Intestinal Salvage in a Neonate With Midgut Volvulus and Intestinal Malrotation: A Case Report.
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
Intestinal malrotation is described as an abnormal positioning of intestinal loops within the peritoneal cavity, caused by defective rotation around the superior mesenteric artery. This results in a short mesenteric root, which predisposes to midgut volvulus when the intestine twists on its axis. We present a case of a five-day-old female with bilious vomiting, abdominal distension, and radiographic signs of obstruction. Surgical intervention was decided, revealing midgut volvulus associated with intestinal malrotation and questionable intestinal viability. A second-look surgery was scheduled at 48 hours, during which the Ladd procedure was completed without requiring intestinal resection. In conclusion, we emphasize the importance of early surgical intervention and the use of techniques that may prevent irreversible intestinal necrosis and the need for extensive resections.
