Twist in the cecum: A case series of mobile cecum, cecal volvulus and cecal bascule.
Article in Radiology 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
The case series involves 4 patients aged 60-71 years with unusual cecal pathology: mobile cecum, cecal volvulus, and cecal bascule. The clinical manifestations were diverse, showing chronic and intermittent abdominal pain on 1 side, and acute intestinal obstruction on the other, indicating the diagnosis challenge of the conditions. The diagnosis in all cases relied on computed tomography, but there was 1 presentation that was first thought to be gastric distention, underlining the importance of meticulous radiologic evaluation. One patient experienced postoperative volvulus, and another incidental appendiceal neoplasm. Three patients needed surgical management which consisted of open hemicolectomy and robotic-assisted ileocolic resection whereas 1 was treated conservatively. The importance of having high index of suspicion of cecal pathology in patients who have unexplained symptoms and are either elderly or postoperative is emphasized in this series. Detection during CT early and timely management to avoid ischemia, perforation, and negative outcomes is crucial.
