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

The Sharon operation is useful for recurrent sigmoid volvulus in high-risk patients because of its minimal invasiveness and short operative time. We report the case of a patient with recurrent sigmoid volvulus who was at high risk during general anesthesia and successfully underwent the Sharon operation under spinal anesthesia. This case suggests that spinal anesthesia may be a feasible option for selected patients undergoing this procedure.
