Congenital band adhesion causing a proximal jejunal obstruction: an uncommon presentation and diagnosis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
A 20-year-old woman with no medical or surgical history presented with acute onset crampy abdominal pain on a background of uninvestigated similar chronic abdominal pain. She became obstructed during her admission and a contrast swallow showed a complete obstruction at the level of the proximal jejunum. A diagnostic laparoscopy revealed a congenital band adhesion from the greater omentum to the proximal jejunum to be the cause, and dissection of the band relieved her obstruction. This case presents a rare cause of mechanical obstruction, and highlights the seriousness of investigating obstructive symptoms even in atypical patient populations.
