Redundant: A case of complicated dolichocolon in a neonate.
Article in Radiology 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
Dolichocolon has been described as a developmental variant and is characterized by redundancy of the colon. Diagnosis is based off clinical symptoms and barium enema or CT-colonography. This redundancy is often seen in the adult and elderly population, with pediatric prevalence limited to case reports. Information regarding radiologic evaluation is limited, as most cases are documented outside of the radiology literature. This case report demonstrates a complex course of transient symptoms of constipation, obstruction, and suspected volvulus in a 1-month-old with dolichocolon. A retrospective review of the images offers insight into gaining suspicion of this variant in radiographs and fluoroscopic exams.
