Cecal bascule in a patient with complete situs inversus-a rare cause of left upper quadrant abdominal pain.
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
Cecal volvulus is a rare cause of large bowel obstruction with cecal bascule being a rare cause of cecal volvulus. We present a case of cecal bascule in a 27-year-old female with Kartagener's syndrome and complete situs inversus with no history of prior abdominal surgeries. Computed tomography imaging revealed complete heterotaxia of the intra-abdominal organs with displacement of the cecum to the left upper quadrant with anteromedial rotation concerning for cecal bascule. The patient was taken urgently to the operating room where an upper midline laparotomy was performed. The cecum was found to be edematous with a distinct area of obstruction consistent with radiographic findings and an ileocecectomy was performed. Recognition of rare diagnoses can be rendered even more difficult in a patient with complete situs inversus and requires a high index of suspicion.
