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

Fetal caecal volvulus is an extremely rare entity, scarcely reported in antenatal imaging literature. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are crucial to prevent bowel necrosis, fetal demise and post-natal complications. We present a rare case of fetal caecal volvulus at 34 weeks of gestational age, diagnosed on antenatal ultrasound and fetal magnetic resonance imaging mimicking a heterogenous cystic intra-abdominal mass and confirmed on post-natal surgery. To our knowledge, caecal volvulus has never been reported in existing fetal imaging literature. This case highlights the importance of antenatal imaging in differentiating abdominal masses and detecting rare gastrointestinal emergencies in utero.
