A Rare Complication of Gastric Volvulus in Infectious Mononucleosis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Infectious mononucleosis (IM), typically resulting from Epstein-Barr virus infection, is characterized by the clinical triad of fever, pharyngitis, lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly. Acute gastric volvulus secondary to massive splenomegaly represents an exceedingly rare yet life-threatening complication that requires urgent intervention. We reported the case of a five-year-old girl who was diagnosed with IM. Subsequently, the patient identified a 180° gastric volvulus associated with splenomegaly. Laparoscopic surgery derotation was promptly performed, with immediate resolution of symptoms. The patient experienced an uncomplicated recovery and remained asymptomatic at the 12-month follow-up. We presented a case of acute gastric volvulus as a rare complication of IM. This case underscores that in pediatric patients presenting with acute abdomen and splenomegaly, gastric volvulus should be considered alongside other complications such as splenic rupture. Prompt surgical evaluation is warranted when clinical suspicion arises.
