Percutaneous endoscopic gastropexy for postcolostomy internal hernia of the stomach: a rare case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Colostomy-associated internal hernia is a rare postoperative complication, and gastric incarceration through the lateral defect between a lifted sigmoid colostomy and the abdominal wall is exceedingly uncommon, with only three previously reported cases, all of whom were surgically managed for preventing recurrence. We report a rare case of gastric incarceration following sigmoid colostomy in which percutaneous endoscopic gastropexy was performed as a minimally invasive strategy for recurrence prevention. A 59-year-old male presented with vomiting 11 months after undergoing Hartmann's procedure with an intraperitoneal sigmoid colostomy for sigmoid volvulus. Computed tomography revealed gastric herniation through the lateral defect, causing significant gastric distension. Symptoms resolved following nasogastric decompression, and spontaneous hernia reduction was confirmed. Percutaneous endoscopic gastropexy was subsequently performed without complications. The patient had an uneventful recovery and remained recurrence free at the 4-month follow-up.
