Colonic Volvulus Associated with Hirschsprung's Disease in the Pediatric Age.
Review in International journal of colorectal disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeColonic volvulus (CV) is a twist of part of the colon over its mesentery. Although CV is rare in children, its incidence is unknown. Hirschsprung's disease (HD) represents a significant risk factor of CV in children, especially when diagnosed late.
aimTo review the clinical, radiological and management data of children with CV associated with HD.
methodsMedical records were reviewed from January 2000 to December 2022 looking for children had CV associated with HD.
results21 cases (17 males and 4 females) were admitted with CV. Their ages ranged from 8 days to 14 years. Sigmoid volvulus was recorded in 17 (81%) cases, while 4 (19%) cases had cecal volvulus. CV was associated with HD in 9 (42.9%) cases. Their median age was 7 years. Eight cases had sigmoid volvulus associated with short segment HD, while one case had cecal volvulus with long segment HD. CV was the first presentation, before the diagnosis of HD, in 8 cases. The diagnosis of HD was overlooked in 3 cases; 2 cases had an anastomotic leakage after sigmoidectomy, while the third case had recurrence of volvulus after successful nonoperative management.
conclusionThe diagnosis of CV in children mandates a high index of suspicion. Moreover, HD should be suspected and excluded in every case of CV in children.
