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 significanceDuplication of the digestive tract is a rare condition, especially when it is located in the cecum. In most cases, it is asymptomatic. The cystic pattern is the most common type of duplication of the digestive tract. The exact cause of this anomaly has not been determined yet. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a girl who was suffering from vague abdominal pain for a period of time without response to medical treatment. She was later diagnosed with a duplication cyst of the cecum, which was completely resected with a ileocolic anastomosis. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Surgery is generally the mainstay of treatment for duplication cysts of the digestive tract. Even in asymptomatic cases, surgical resection is preferred to avoid complications and the risk of malignant transformation.

conclusionIt is always important to consider duplication of the digestive tract as a possible differential diagnosis for cysts in the cecum, and to avoid attempting to dissect the cyst away from the adjacent digestive tract.
