Midgut Volvulus with Necrosis: A Complication of Endometriosis.
Article in CRSLS : MIS case reports from SLS. 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
Background: Deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) can involve the bowel leading to necrosis with septic shock, a rare complication occurring in 5% of endometriosis patients. This case report aims to illustrate a life-threatening complication of endometriosis, emphasizing the need for strong clinical acumen in atypical cases of endometriosis. This also highlights the need for improved noninvasive diagnostic modalities to enable earlier detection. Case: A 33-year-old woman with a presumed diagnosis of Crohn's disease presented to the emergency department in septic shock following six months of chronic gastrointestinal symptoms. She had previously undergone colonoscopy with biopsy showing terminal ileitis. Due to signs of peritonitis and systemic infection, she was urgently taken to the operating room and underwent an exploratory laparotomy that revealed midgut volvulus and extensive hemorrhagic necrosis. She underwent resection of necrotic bowel and cecum with end jejunostomy. Final pathology demonstrated DIE involving the bowel wall and mesentery, with no histologic evidence of Crohn's disease. Her postoperative course was complicated by prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) admission, cardiac arrest, and short bowel syndrome requiring nutritional support. Post operatively a pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed stage IV endometriosis with infiltration into the rectosigmoid. She was discharged in stable condition with multidisciplinary follow-up involving colorectal surgery, gynecology, and reproductive endocrinology. Conclusion: This case illustrates a rare and severe presentation of intestinal endometriosis mimicking Crohn's disease, progressing to life-threatening bowel necrosis. It underscores the diagnostic challenges of endometriosis and the critical role of multidisciplinary care in optimizing outcomes for complex cases.
