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

introduction and significanceThis is a rare case of enteric duplication cyst presenting as ileocolic intussusception in a child. The literature review found that there have been only a few other reported cases of this condition. In most cases, enteric duplication cysts are asymptomatic and are found incidentally. However, in some cases, they can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation, and diarrhea. Intussusception is a rare complication of enteric duplication cysts. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a enteric duplication cyst in the cecum that was discovered through its association with a ileocolic intussusception that reached the anus. We diagnosed the ileocolic intussusception through an ultrasound, and during surgery, we discovered the presence of the enteric duplication cyst in the cecum. We resected it and performed a ileocolic anastomosis. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The treatment for enteric duplication cysts that are causing symptoms is surgery. During surgery, the cyst is removed and the intestine is repaired.

conclusionThis case report highlights the importance of considering enteric duplication cyst as a possible cause of ileocolic intussusception in children.
