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

introductionThe interest of this case lies in the exceptional and rare character of the observed association.: Meckel's diverticulum (MD) mimicking a postoperative flange complicated by acute intestinal obstruction and malrotation by midgut volvulus. CASE PRESENTATION: A 17-year-old black male student, with a body mass index of 28 kg/m

conclusionMD, although generally a tubular structure, may sometimes appear as a non-tubular mass during clinical examination. Intestinal obstruction due to MD associated with midgut volvulus is exceptional. Management of this association should be based on accurate knowledge of the morpho-embryological specificities during gut development.
