Treatment of giant fecalith colonic obstruction in a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy using endoscopic injection of hydrogen peroxide: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive genetic disorder primarily affecting cardiac and skeletal muscles, with gastrointestinal obstruction being an infrequent complication. Case report: We present a 17-year-old boy with DMD (G-to-T transversion at c.4150 in the gene encoding dystrophin protein) who developed severe colonic obstruction due to fecal impaction. Abdominal computed tomography revealed an obstructing fecalith in the left colon (length: 39.5 cm, width: 18.3 cm, height: 12.7 cm). Despite the application of initial conservative measures including fasting, enemas, and fluid resuscitation, the obstruction persisted. Therefore, we performed manual disimpaction and endoscopic injection of hydrogen peroxide, effectively alleviating the obstruction. Discussion: This case underscores the necessity of devising stage-specific, tailored strategies for the prevention and management of gastrointestinal complications in patients with DMD.
