Acute gastric volvulus in a pediatric patient: A rare case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Acute gastric volvulus is an extremely rare but possibly lethal condition within the pediatric population and is defined by the abnormal rotation of the stomach that can lead to serious complications like ischemia, perforation, or splenic involvement if not promptly diagnosed and managed. We report the case of a 2-year-old male with a history of Chromosome Alignment-Maintaining Phosphoprotein 1 (CHAMP1) mutation and prior gastric ulcers who presented with hematemesis, retching, and feeding intolerance. Abdominal radiograph showed nonspecific dilation of the gastric bubble, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) confirmed mesentero-axial volvulus with splenic displacement. The patient underwent successful nasogastric decompression followed by laparotomy, gastric detorsion, and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement. This case emphasizes the role of early imaging, particularly CT, in diagnosing pediatric gastric volvulus and suggests a potential link between CHAMP1-associated hypotonia and volvulus. Timely recognition and intervention are essential for favorable outcomes in such rare pediatric emergencies.
