Gastric volvulus in an elderly male with a hiatal hernia and a wandering spleen: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical 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
Gastric volvulus is a rare surgical emergency that can lead to obstruction, ischemia, and necrosis if not promptly managed. We report a unique case of a 78-year-old male who presented during the 2024 Islamic pilgrimage season with symptoms of epigastric pain and persistent vomiting. Imaging revealed a mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus associated with a large hiatal hernia and a wandering spleen-an uncommon triad, especially in adults. The patient underwent successful laparoscopic reduction of the volvulus, cruroplasty, Toupet fundoplication, and anterior gastropexy. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient was discharged in good condition. This case highlights the importance of high clinical suspicion, appropriate imaging, and timely surgical intervention in managing gastric volvulus. It also underscores the need to identify and address contributing anatomical abnormalities to prevent recurrence. To our knowledge, this is the first reported adult case of concurrent gastric volvulus, hiatal hernia, and wandering spleen.
