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

Gastric volvulus is a rare condition that may recur after endoscopic reduction. Although surgical fixation is often performed to prevent recurrence, this may be difficult in older adults with poor operative tolerance, necessitating alternative approaches. Here, we report a case of gastric volvulus without hiatal hernia in a 78-year-old woman that was successfully managed with percutaneous endoscopic gastropexy after endoscopic reduction. Four-point fixation was performed using devices commonly employed for gastric wall anchoring during percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. No recurrence was observed. This case highlights endoscopic gastropexy as an effective, minimally invasive option for preventing gastric volvulus recurrence in high-risk patients.
