Congenital segmental dilatation of the intestine in a neonate.
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 woman in her 30s at 29 weeks of gestation was diagnosed with a fetal abdominal cyst and polyhydramnios. As the cyst gradually increased in size, an elective caesarean section was performed at 38 weeks of gestation. The neonate experienced respiratory distress due to tense abdominal distension shortly after birth. An emergency laparotomy was performed. The intestinal tract was markedly dilated and contiguous with the cyst. The small bowel distal to the dilated intestine had herniated through the defect. The dilated segment was resected, and an ileostomy was created. The operative and histopathological findings suggested segmental dilatation of the intestine (SDI). SDI is a rare gastrointestinal disorder presenting during the neonatal period. It can cause respiratory failure in newborns by compression owing to its large size. SDI should be considered in the differential diagnosis of relatively large abdominal cysts, and collaboration with paediatric surgeons and neonatologists is necessary for successful outcomes.
