Type IIIb jejunal atresia treated surgically with two end-to-end anastomoses.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A term newborn presented after birth with abdominal distension and vomiting in a developing country in Asia. Ultrasonography suggested intestinal obstruction and abdominal X-ray showed a 'double-bubble' sign suggestive of intestinal atresia. The newborn was diagnosed with early-onset neonatal sepsis secondary to intestinal obstruction and transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit. Surgery was performed and type IIIb jejunal atresia was found. Type IIIa/b jejunal atresia is associated with high incidence of poor outcome in lower socioeconomic countries. The affected intestinal segment and a distal serosal tear were resected and two end-to-end anastomoses formed. Oral feeding commenced on day 13 postoperatively. The patient was discharged on day 20 with adequate nutritional status. At follow-up, the patient continued to thrive. An operation involving resection of two different segments of bowel repaired with two end-to-end anastomoses in a neonate had a successful outcome for the patient.
