Recurrent Sigmoid Volvulus in a Young Female With Ulcerative Colitis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
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
Sigmoid volvulus (SV) is extremely rare in young patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). We report a 20-year-old female with UC presenting with recurrent SV without traditional risk factors. Computed tomography (CT) confirmed the diagnosis with a "whirl sign." The patient underwent definitive robotic-assisted anterior resection with inferior mesenteric vessel preservation. Notably, the site of torsion corresponded to the segment most severely affected by UC, suggesting a localized inflammatory mechanism contributing to volvulus formation. This case highlights a potential pathophysiological link between chronic inflammation and colonic torsion, possibly involving neuroinflammatory changes. Clinicians should consider recurrent SV in young UC patients as a potential indicator of segmental motility dysfunction and evaluate the need for definitive surgical management.
