Reversed intestinal malrotation with volvulus in an adult: A case report.
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
Congenital intestinal malrotation is a rare developmental anomaly of midgut rotation and fixation, with an estimated incidence of 0.2-0.5% in the adult population. Reversed intestinal rotation represents the rarest variant, accounting for approximately 2-4% of all malrotation cases, and is frequently associated with delayed diagnosis due to nonspecific symptoms. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with long-standing gastrointestinal symptoms who presented with subocclusive features. Contrast-enhanced multiphasic computed tomography revealed reversed intestinal malrotation complicated by ileocecal volvulus, characterized by abnormal positioning of the bowel, inversion of the superior mesenteric vessels and a typical whirlpool sign. Surgical exploration via midline laparotomy confirmed the imaging findings, including Ladd's band and increased cecal mobility. A Ladd procedure was performed, consisting of division of fibrous bands, derotation of the bowel, widening of the mesenteric base and appendectomy. The postoperative course was uneventful, with complete resolution of symptoms. This case highlights the essential role of cross-sectional imaging in establishing early diagnosis and guiding timely surgical management to prevent life-threatening complications.
