Efficacy of a Laparoscopic Approach in Treating Gangrenous Ischemic Colitis: A Case Report.
Article in Surgical case reports, 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
introductionIschemic colitis (IC) is one of the most common ischemic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Although most cases can be managed conservatively, some progress to the gangrenous form requiring surgical intervention. Emergency surgery for gangrenous IC has typically been performed via laparotomy. CASE PRESENTATION: An 81-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and hematochezia. She was initially managed conservatively under the diagnosis of IC; however, on hospital day 4, she developed peritoneal signs and a marked increase in inflammatory markers. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed poor enhancement of the splenic flexure and descending colon. Diagnostic laparoscopy confirmed gangrenous IC, and a laparoscopic extended left hemicolectomy with colostomy was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient achieved a favorable outcome.
conclusionsThis case highlights that laparoscopic surgery is a safe and effective option for diagnosing and managing gangrenous IC in selected patients.
