Recurrent non-bilious vomiting in a child: A case report of an uncommon diagnosis.
Article in African journal of paediatric surgery : AJPS. 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
Annular pancreas (AP) is a congenital anomaly and a recognised cause of duodenal obstruction which can affect all age groups. It may manifest early in the neonatal period, but it may also have varied and often delayed symptoms. We report the case of AP in an 18-month-old girl with a long history of recurrent post-prandial non-bilious vomiting treated for a long time with the clinical diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux. Upper gastrointestinal study was suggestive of partial duodenal obstruction and computed tomography revealed a complete ring of pancreatic parenchyma surrounding the second part of the duodenum. Diamond-shaped duodenoduodenostomy was achieved successfully and the post-operative period was uneventful. Although rare, AP must be kept in mind of any paediatric surgeon while confronted to symptoms of partial duodenal obstruction.
