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

backgroundColonic duplication is a rare congenital anomaly. Many types of heterotopic tissue were identified within the wall of duplication. However, studies of ectopic immature renal tissue (EIRT) involving colon duplication in an adult have yet to be reported. CASE SUMMARY: A 23-year-old woman visited our hospital with symptoms of recurrent abdominal pain and chronic constipation. Image analysis via abdomino-pelvic computed tomography, Gastrografin contrast study, and colonoscopy showed a blind and dilated bowel loop filled with fecal material located on the mesenteric side of the sigmoid colon. We established a diagnosis of sigmoid colon duplication and decided to perform a laparoscopic investigation. Segmental resection of the sigmoid colon with duplication was done. Microscopically, the duplicated segment showed all three layers of the bowel wall and EIRT in the wall of the duplication. The postoperative period was uneventful and the patient was discharged nine days after the surgery without complications. She has been doing well 12 mo after the follow-up period.

conclusionA comprehensive histopathologic examination for ectopic tissues or tumors is mandatory after resection of colon duplication.
