A Rare Case of Apple Peel Ileal Atresia With Coexisting Colonic Atresia: Surgical Management and Outcomes.

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
Ileal atresia is one of the most frequent causes of congenital intestinal obstruction. Type IIIb, also known as apple peel atresia, is the least common subtype. Colonic atresia is a rare anomaly that can also cause neonatal intestinal obstruction. Both can coexist with other atypical malformations, further complicating diagnosis. The surgical management of these two gastrointestinal malformations differs between centers, and no standardized procedural guidelines currently exist. We present a case of a neonate born with apple peel ileal atresia coexisting with transverse colonic atresia, both successfully treated with primary anastomoses. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged with full oral feeding and regular bowel movements.
