Early Post-cesarean Section Gangrenous Ileocecal Volvulus in a Primigravida: A Rare Postpartum Complication Case Report.
Article in Clinical 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
Cecal volvulus is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction, especially in the postpartum period. It occurs when the cecum, terminal ileum, and ascending right colon twist around an axis, which leads to obstruction, ischemia, and possible gangrene. We report a rare case of early postcesarean gangrenous ileocecal volvulus in a 21-year-old mother, just two days after an emergency cesarean section. The patient showed right-sided abdominal swelling, pain, vomiting, and absence of bowel movements. Imaging showed dilated bowel loops with air-fluid levels, indicating a small-bowel obstruction. An exploratory laparotomy confirmed a 540° clockwise ileocecal volvulus with gangrenous changes, requiring resection and double-barrel ileocolostomy. The patient had a smooth recovery after the surgery. This case highlights the need to be alert for cecal volvulus in postpartum women who have sudden abdominal distention following a cesarean delivery, as early identification and quick surgical intervention are essential to avoid serious complications.
