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

Congenital bands are rare causes of intestinal obstruction and often leads to diagnostic challenges. Diagnostic delays in cases of mechanical obstruction might lead to irreversible bowel ischemia and perforation. Presently described is a case of an 18 month young child with severe vomiting developed for one day. The child was initially thought to have acute viral enteritis and treated accordingly. Due to the severity, an X-Ray and computed tomography scan were sent which pointed towards the possibility of having congenital bands. He was treated operatively. The child was kept under observation for eleven days and was discharged. Although rare, intestinal obstruction due to congenital bands must be considered when treating a child with severe vomiting. Keywords: case reports, congenital abnormalities, intestinal obstruction, vomiting.
