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

backgroundA congenital band is an uncommon abnormality that can be found anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract. Intestinal obstruction caused by an anomalous congenital band is very rare in children. To the best of our knowledge, no cases of congenital bands extending from the descending colon to the jejunum have been reported in the English literature CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we present the case of a 12-year-old Syrian patient with intestinal obstruction due to a congenital band extending from the mesentery of the descending colon to the mesentery of the jejunum with an entrapped loop of jejunum between the band and the mesentery. The location of the obstruction was determined by upper gastrointestinal contrast radiography, but the cause of the obstruction was diagnosed intraoperatively. The band was excised without intestinal resection.

conclusionPrediagnosis of congenital bands can be challenging, and surgery is required. When making a bowel obstruction differential diagnosis, it is important to keep this type of band in mind.
