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

Cecal volvulus occurs when the ascending colon and terminal ileum twist around the mesenteric pedicle, compromising bowel perfusion and leading to obstruction. This condition may result from congenital or acquired abnormalities affecting cecal fixation. Intestinal malrotation is rare in adults and is usually asymptomatic. We report the case of a 50-year-old male who presented with a large bowel obstruction due to cecal volvulus associated with chronic malrotation and Ladd bands. He underwent successful surgical treatment and was discharged home. This report discusses the atypical anatomy, clinical presentation, and diagnostic challenges of such cases.
