Ileal Atresia in a 10-day-old male baby: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Ileal Atresia is noted to be the commonest cause of intestinal obstruction in neonates worldwide but still under diagnosed in Sub-Saharan countries with scarce data reported on its occurrence. It is likely under diagnosed due to low index of suspicion. Advancement in foetal ultrasound during prenatal period will increase index of suspicion and hence early diagnosis and correction. This is the first case report in our setup highlighting this condition. We present a case of a 10-day-old male baby referred to us due to vomiting since birth. Clinically was in distress with a palpable supraumbilical mass that was firm and non-tender. Abdominal ultrasound scan showed poor peristalsis and minimal dilation of bowels suggestive of partial intestinal obstruction. Abdominal X-ray showed dilated bowels with multiple air-fluid levels, empty rectum with features suggestive of intestinal obstruction. Patient was successfully operated but unfortunately on day 3 post-surgery succumbed.
