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

This case report of an infant details a rare occurrence of a cecal duplication cyst causing bowel obstruction. It was successfully treated through an extra mucosal enucleation. The patient presented at 41 days of life, with two days picture of abdominal distension and recurrent non-bilious vomiting. The infant improved initially, but subsequently, he developed bilious vomiting. Further investigations revealed a suspected ileocolic intussusception and small bowel obstruction. Surgical exploration revealed a cecal duplication cyst. The cyst was enucleated, and closure of the seromuscular defect was done with an appendectomy. The patient had a smooth recovery postoperatively. Histopathology confirmed the presence of a duplication cyst with benign ectopic gastric tissue negative for malignancy. The patient was discharged without any complications.
