Rectal duplication cyst in an adult with a history of imperforate anus: a diagnostic challenge.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Rectal duplications are rare congenital anomalies that represent 1%-6% of alimentary tract duplications. We report a case of a woman in her 50s who presented to our hospital with perianal pain and urinary retention. She had a history of imperforate anus repaired after birth and dynamic graciloplasty performed during her adulthood for faecal incontinence. Abdominal CT scan showed a fluid collection extending from the electrostimulator, placed in a subcutaneous pocket in the abdomen, to the rectouterine pouch. Infection related to the electrostimulator was assumed and, after a course of antibiotics without patient improvement, the electrostimulator was removed. The symptoms and the pelvic fluid collection persisted, and diagnostic laparoscopy was performed. Diagnosis of rectal duplication cyst was made intraoperatively, and the cyst was completely resected. Patient fully recovered after surgery. This is a rare case of a rectal duplication cyst presenting during adulthood and associated with imperforate anus.
