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

Intestinal malrotation is a congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, most often diagnosed in childhood. It results from abnormal rotation during embryonic development. It may present with acute abdomen, volvulus, or intestinal obstruction. In adults, the condition is rare and typically presents with nonspecific symptoms, making diagnosis challenging and often delayed. We report the case of a 29-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain and vomiting. Abdominal CT scan revealed intestinal malrotation complicated by volvulus. The patient underwent a successful laparoscopic Ladd's procedure. A brief review of the literature is provided to highlight this uncommon adult presentation.
