Jejuno-ileal atresia: its characteristics and peculiarities concerning apple peel atresia, focused on its treatment and outcomes as experienced in one of the leading South African academic centres.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeJejuno-ileal atresia remains the most common form of intestinal obstruction in the neonatal and infantile age group and has an incidence of 1:300 to 1:1500. Apple peel atresia (APA) is the rarest of the five described types. The morbidity and mortality of patients with APA managed at our institution are high, and we review our experience with this paper. We compared our outcomes with other developed and developing countries. In addition, we looked at factors that affect outcome and how we can change them.
methodsThe study was a retrospective review of all patients treated with APA at IALCH between January 2002 and December 2010 and includes 34 patients.
resultsThe results revealed a mortality in excess of 70%. There were poor antenatal screening, a high rate of prematurity and often delays in transfer to our institution. Relaparotomy and sepsis rates were high.
conclusionThis review represents a significant number of patients with APA from a single institution. Although survival rates have improved significantly over the years, APA remains a life-threatening malformation and results in significant morbidity and mortality in our setting.
