1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Ileosigmoid knotting is one of the rarest emergencies, occurring when the sigmoid colon or ileum wraps around the base of the other, obstructing the flow. It is considered a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. Clinical signs and symptoms are nonspecific, making preoperative diagnosis challenging. Delays in diagnosis and management may lead to bowel necrosis or peritonitis. Here, we present the case of a 37-year-old male who presented with severe abdominal pain, initially misdiagnosed as adhesive bowel obstruction. ISK was diagnosed intra-operatively.
