From ruptured ovarian cyst to ileo-ileal knotting: a case of diagnostic dilemma.
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. 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
Ileo-ileal knotting is a rare, life-threatening cause of small bowel strangulation. Preoperative diagnosis is challenging, and hemorrhagic ascites in reproductive-age women may mimic gynecologic emergencies. A 33-year-old Ethiopian female presented with sudden abdominal pain, vomiting, obstipation, and hemorrhagic shock. Ultrasonography showed dilated small bowel loops and echogenic free fluid, suggesting ruptured ovarian cyst. Due to instability, computed tomography was omitted. Emergency laparotomy revealed 2000 ml of hemorrhagic ascites with normal ovaries and no gynecologic bleeding. An ileo-ileal knot with 180 cm of gangrenous bowel was found; hemorrhagic ascites resulted from transmural ischemia with venous congestion. The gangrenous segment was resected, and stoma created. Short bowel syndrome ensued. Staged jejuno-ileal anastomosis was performed 1 week later with good recovery. This case confirms that hemorrhagic ascites in women does not exclude intestinal strangulation. Early surgical exploration is lifesaving when closed-loop obstruction is suspected.
