Sigmoid Volvulus as One of the Differential Diagnoses for Bradycardia and Hypotension: 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
Bradycardia and hypotension are well-recognized clinical presentations in the emergency department, and common causes include cardiac, metabolic, or drug-related factors. However, gastrointestinal pathologies are seldom considered within the initial differential diagnosis. We report the case of a 75-year-old man who presented with light-headedness due to life-threatening bradycardia and hypotension. A chest radiograph incidentally revealed marked colonic distension beneath the diaphragm. After stabilizing his vital signs with vasopressors, a computed tomography revealed a sigmoid volvulus. Emergency colonoscopic decompression led in a rapid stabilization of his vital signs, permitting discontinuation of vasopressor support. This case emphasizes that gastrointestinal disorders, like sigmoid volvulus, should be considered in the initial differential diagnosis of bradycardia and hypotension.
