Trauma-Induced Delayed Presentation of Diaphragmatic Hernia with Gastric Volvulus: A Rare Presentation.
Article in Bulletin of emergency and trauma, 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
A 19-year-old male presented with a three-day history of worsening epigastric pain, persistent vomiting, abdominal distension, and obstipation. His medical history included high-fall trauma in 2022, resulting in a parietal bone fracture, scalp swelling, and an epidural hematoma. Physical examination revealed epigastric tenderness, abdominal distension, and diminished bowel sounds. Imaging revealed a 7 cm left diaphragmatic defect with herniation of the stomach, colon, and mesentery into the thoracic cavity, confirming a diagnosis of gastric volvulus with a diaphragmatic hernia. An exploratory laparotomy confirmed herniation of the stomach, transverse colon, spleen, and pancreas. The procedure involved derotation of the gastric volvulus, reduction of the herniated organs, and repair of the diaphragmatic tear; a fundoplication was also performed to prevent recurrence. The patient's recovery was uneventful, and he was discharged on the fifth postoperative day. He remained asymptomatic at the six-month follow-up. This case underscored the importance of considering gastric volvulus and diaphragmatic hernia in trauma patients presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms, highlighting the necessity of early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention.
