Concurrent sigmoid volvulus and caecal adenocarcinoma in a paraplegic patient with neurogenic bowel: a case report.
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
A 76-year-old man with paraplegia and neurogenic bowel dysfunction presented with progressive abdominal distension and altered bowel habits. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated sigmoid volvulus and an incidental 5 × 4 cm ileocaecal mass. After endoscopic detorsion, multidisciplinary review recommended definitive resection during the same admission. He underwent right hemicolectomy with ileocolic anastomosis and sigmoidectomy with colorectal anastomosis. Histopathology confirmed moderately differentiated caecal adenocarcinoma (pT3N1a, R0). The postoperative course was complicated by aspiration pneumonitis and femoral deep venous thrombosis, both managed successfully. This case illustrates that neurogenic bowel dysfunction may mask coexistent colorectal malignancy, and that unexplained microcytic anaemia in a patient presenting with volvulus warrants comprehensive colonic evaluation. Perioperative management in this population requires multidisciplinary input to address the elevated risks of cardiopulmonary and thromboembolic complications.
