Management of total colonic duplication: retrospective single institution Chinese study.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 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
purposeTo summarize the clinical features and surgical treatments of patients with total colonic duplication (TCD).
methodsClinical data on 7 TCD patients who underwent surgical treatments at Beijing Children's Hospital from January 2010 to December 2024 was retrospectively collected and analyzed, including clinical presentations, surgical details, and prognosis.
resultsOf the 7 patients, 4 (57%) were female. In addition to 1 patient whose prenatal ultrasound revealed abnormalities, abnormalities were found in all patients after birth, including 3 passing meconium through the fossa vestibuli vaginae, 2 with constipation/vomiting, 1 with cloaca, and 1 passing meconium through the urethra. Of the 7 patients, 2 were accurately diagnosed and treated in time (the patient with cloaca who underwent colostomy and the patient who was examined in our outpatient department after birth), and 5 (71%) were not. The average age at hospitalization was 14 (6-138) months. Before hospitalization, 4 patients (57%) experienced rectal mass prolapse during defecation. All patients underwent laparotomy, including 5 undergoing the "distal cross-section, mucosa stripping and closure" procedure, 1 resection of the distal duplicated colon with the proximal end closed and ileostomy, and 1 Soave procedure and ileostomy. All patients recovered well without fecal incontinence except for the patient with cloaca who defecated more than 3 times per day.
conclusionIn addition to abnormalities after birth, rectal mass prolapse may be a specific presentation of TCD. The aim of surgery for TCD is to connect the duplicated and native colon and ligate the fistula.
