Complicated Meckel's diverticulum due to axial torsion and fibrous band formation: a rare cause of acute abdomen.
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
Acute abdomen is a potentially life-threatening condition requiring prompt evaluation and surgical intervention. Symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum in adults is uncommon and may mimic other intra-abdominal pathologies. We report a 25-year-old man presenting with diffuse abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, and signs of peritoneal irritation suggestive of complicated appendicitis. Exploratory laparotomy revealed axial torsion of a Meckel's diverticulum with irreversible vascular compromise caused by a fibrous band. Diverticulectomy with wedge resection was performed, resulting in complete recovery. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of complicated Meckel's diverticulum and the importance of considering rare causes of acute abdomen.
