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

This case report presents a preterm infant (36 weeks) with gastroschisis, successfully treated using a two-stage surgical approach. The newborn exhibited evisceration of the stomach and small intestine through a small umbilical defect, with significant edema but no additional anomalies. Due to the severity of the edema and limited abdominal capacity, a staged repair was planned. The first stage involved repositioning the stomach and duodenum into the abdominal cavity. In the second stage, the remaining bowel was placed in a sterile sac suspended above the incubator, allowing gradual reduction over 2 days. Enteral nutrition was initiated after 1 week. The approach resulted in a smooth recovery without complications, suture failure, or incisional hernia. This case highlights the importance of meticulous surgical planning in improving outcomes for neonates with complex conditions.
