Ileocecal duplication in children: a single-center experience of 115 cases.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 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
To evaluate the clinical features, surgical management, and prognosis of ileocecal duplication in children. A total of 115 patients diagnosed with ileocecal duplication at Beijing Children's Hospital between January 2010 and June 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Ileocecal duplications were divided into ileal intraluminal (n = 41), ileal extraluminal (n = 24), ileocecal valve (n = 11), cecal intraluminal (n = 18), and cecal extraluminal (n = 3) types according to their locations. Median age at diagnosis was 9.5 (0.1-169.2) months. Intussusception was only observed preoperatively in patients with the ileal intraluminal (8/41), ileocecal valve (4/11), and cecal intraluminal (7/18) types (P = 0.004). Ileocecal resection and ileocolostomy and cyst excision without ileocecal resection were performed in 41 (35.7%) and 74 (64.3%) patients, respectively. The proportions of cyst excision without ileocecal resection performed in patients with different types were 78.0% (32/41), 91.7% (22/24), 27.3% (3/11), 27.8% (5/18), and 100.0% (3/3) (P < 0.001). Time of oral intake (P = 0.003) and hospital stay after surgery (P < 0.001) were significantly shorter in patients undergoing cyst excision without ileocecal resection. There were no significant differences in the complications, growth, and stool frequency (older than 4 years) between patients undergoing different surgical procedures. Regarding the stool consistency (older than 4 years), there was a lower proportion of dry stool in patients undergoing cyst excision (P = 0.008).
conclusionsIleocecal duplications at specific locations are prone to intussusception and can influence the surgical procedure choice. At mid-term follow-up, the children's growth and defecation patterns do not seem to be affected by ileocecal resection. WHAT IS KNOWN: • How to address ileocecal duplication has always been challenging in clinical management. • Children who have an ileocecal resection can develop some early postoperative complications. WHAT IS NEW: • Ileocecal duplications at specific locations are prone to intussusception and can influence the surgical procedure choice. • Children's growth and defecation patterns do not seem to be affected by ileocecal resection.
