Acute small bowel obstruction caused by a fan-shaped congenital band in a child: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Congenital bands are rare abnormal structures that can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract, and intestinal obstruction caused by these bands is uncommon in children. To our knowledge, there have been no reported cases of small bowel obstruction (SBO) resulting from a wide, fan-shaped congenital band located on the surface of the ileum and mesentery. We present the case of a 13-year-old girl who developed SBO due to a unique fan-shaped band that compressed a segment of the ileum. The diagnosis of intestinal obstruction was confirmed through x-ray and CT imaging, and the location and cause of the obstruction were further elucidated during exploratory laparotomy. The band was excised, with no bowel resections required. Congenital or spontaneous bands are rare causes of bowel obstruction, and accurately diagnosing this condition prior to surgery can be challenging. When considering the potential causes of intestinal obstruction, it is crucial to include congenital bands in the differential diagnosis.
