Cecal volvulus revealing previously undiagnosed intestinal non-rotation in adulthood: intraoperative diagnosis of a rare congenital anomaly.

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
Cecal volvulus is a rare cause of acute intestinal obstruction in adults, while intestinal malrotation is typically diagnosed in infancy and only rarely presents in adulthood. We report a rare case of cecal volvulus associated with previously undiagnosed intestinal non-rotation in a 48-year-old patient. The patient presented with acute abdominal pain and was diagnosed with cecal volvulus on computed tomography. Emergency laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis and revealed intestinal non-rotation. The patient was successfully treated with ileocecal resection and primary side-to-side anastomosis. This case highlights the importance of considering congenital rotational anomalies in adult patients presenting with cecal volvulus, as these anatomical variations may predispose to volvulus and may only be recognized intraoperatively.
