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

Alimentary tract duplications are a rare congenital malformation. They can present with varied symptoms owing to the locality of the duplication, along the gastrointestinal tract. Out of these duplications, the ones along the pylorus are the most rare. These are usually only diagnosed intraoperatively, as it is not a common differential on imaging due to its rarity. In lieu of the literature currently available, pyloric duplication cyst can present anytime from 1 week of age to 5 years, with some cases being detected antenatally due to the prevalence of regular antenatal scanning. Surgery remains the main stay of treatment with the goal of complete excision of the cyst and complete removal of the cyst mucosal lining. We report the case of a 5-year-old girl, which to our knowledge is the first ever reported case from Karachi, Pakistan.
