Delayed diagnosis of type I jejunal atresia in an infant with intractable vomiting: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
We report the case of a 14-month-old infant with chronic vomiting and recurrent subocclusive episodes since 40 days of life. Initially misdiagnosed as cow's milk protein allergy and gastritis, the infant underwent repeated admissions for dehydration and failure to thrive. Radiologic studies demonstrated dilated proximal small bowel loops but no obvious cause for obstruction. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a type I jejunal atresia due to an incomplete mucosal diaphragm and two congenital fibrous bands contributing to intermittent obstruction. Resection of the segment and division of the bands with end-to-end anastomosis resulted in full clinical recovery and catch-up growth. This case highlights the importance of considering congenital structural anomalies, such as partial atresias and congenital bands, in the differential diagnosis of persistent gastrointestinal symptoms in infants, especially when these symptoms are unresponsive to medical treatment and radiologic studies suspicious of partial obstruction.
