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

Rectal duplication cysts are a rare entity, representing only 5% of alimentary tract duplications, with posterior rectal duplications being the most common. However, clinical presentations can vary significantly. We present a unique case of a 5-day-old female with an antenatally ruptured rectal duplication cyst associated with spina bifida and an ectopic kidney. The infant presented with a fleshy mass over the left gluteal region, and imaging revealed an ectopic left kidney and spina bifida. The preoperative diagnosis was complicated by the antenatal rupture of the cyst, which was confirmed intraoperatively and through biopsy. Surgical excision of the lesion was performed, and the postoperative recovery was uneventful. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges associated with ruptured rectal duplication cysts in the newborn period, highlighting that complete surgical excision is the preferred treatment to prevent further complications.
