Hiatal hernia with gastric volvulus and perforation: a rare complicated entity.
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
Gastric volvulus with perforation is a rare and potentially catastrophic complication of hiatal hernia. Gastric volvulus complicates ~4% of hiatal hernia cases. We present a case of a 71-year-old male patient who presented with severe progressive generalized abdominal pain associated with absolute constipation, nausea, and vomiting ongoing for 8 days before admission. An abdominal computed tomography scan demonstrated a large hiatal hernia with organoaxial gastric volvulus and pneumoperitoneum around the stomach, denoting gastric volvulus with perforation. During laparotomy, the abdomen was found to be filled with turbid fluid, and the stomach herniated into the thoracic cavity, forming a gastric volvulus with signs of inflammation and a pyogenic membrane. There was a small peripyloric perforation ~5 mm. Repair of the hiatal hernia and gastric perforation was done. In this case report, we present the diagnostic approach and surgical options of a complicated hiatal hernia with gastric volvulus and perforation.
