Endoscopic radial incision and cutting method for adult congenital duodenal webs: A case report.

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
backgroundCongenital duodenal webs are rare in adults and can lead to various symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and postprandial fullness. The treatment for this disease is mostly surgical. Endoscopic treatment techniques have been developed and attempted for this disease. Endoscopic radial incision and cutting (RIC) techniques are reportedly very effective in benign anastomotic stricture. This case report highlights the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic RIC as a minimally invasive treatment for adult congenital duodenal webs. CASE SUMMARY: A 23-year-old female patient with indigestion was referred to a tertiary hospital. The patient complained of postprandial fullness in the epigastric region. Previous physical examinations or blood tests indicated no abnormalities. Computed tomography revealed an eccentric broad-based delayed-enhancing mass-like lesion in the second portion of the duodenum. Endoscopy showed an enlarged gastric cavity and a significantly dilated duodenal bulb; a very small hole was observed in the distal part of the second portion, and scope passage was not possible. Gastrografin upper gastrointestinal series was performed, revealing an intraduodenal barium contrast-filled sac with a curvilinear narrow radiolucent rim, a typical "windsock" sign. Endoscopic RIC was performed on the duodenal web. The patient recovered uneventfully. Follow-up endoscopy showed a patent duodenal lumen without any residual stenosis. The patient reported complete resolution of symptoms at the 18-month follow-up.
conclusionEndoscopic RIC may be an effective treatment for congenital duodenal webs in adults.
