Enteric Duplication Cyst Leading to a Volvulus in an Eight-Month-Old: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract. They may remain asymptomatic or present with non-specific symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal distension, and intestinal obstruction. We report the case of an eight-month-old male infant with no significant medical history who presented with a four-day history of vomiting that became bilious, accompanied by generalized hypotonia and dehydration. Clinical evaluation revealed a Glasgow Coma Scale of 11/15 and mild hyponatremia with otherwise normal laboratory results. Abdominal ultrasound showed inversion of the superior mesenteric artery and vein, raising suspicion for malrotation. Contrast-enhanced CT confirmed the "whirlpool sign" and identified a 50 mm enteric duplication cyst. Emergency surgery revealed a volvulus caused by the cyst, which was surgically corrected with successful resection. The postoperative course was uneventful. This case underscores the importance of early imaging and prompt surgical intervention in infants with bilious vomiting to prevent severe complications from rare conditions like enteric duplication cysts.
