Gastric volvulus following Nissen fundoplication: a case report and review of reported cases, risk factors, and management strategies.
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
Gastric volvulus is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication following Nissen fundoplication, with delayed diagnosis increasing the risk of gastric ischemia, necrosis, and perforation. We report the case of a 72-year-old man who presented on postoperative Day 10 with progressive dysphagia, severe epigastric pain, and intolerance to oral intake following robot-assisted laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. Computed tomography and upper gastrointestinal contrast study demonstrated marked gastric distension with obstruction at the gastroesophageal junction. Urgent diagnostic laparoscopy revealed a complete retroesophageal organoaxial gastric volvulus around an intact fundoplication wrap. The patient subsequently underwent robot-assisted gastric decompression, reduction of the volvulus, takedown of the fundoplication, and posterior gastropexy. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. This case highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for gastric volvulus in patients with persistent obstructive symptoms after fundoplication and demonstrates that prompt minimally invasive surgical intervention can prevent catastrophic complications.
