Laparoscopic resection of an ileocecal duplication cyst in a 7-year-old female: 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
Alimentary tract duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that can occur anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract. Ileocecal duplication cysts, a subset of enteric duplication cysts (EDCs), are particularly uncommon and often present with nonspecific symptoms, making preoperative diagnosis difficult. We report a case of a 7-year-old female who presented with intermittent abdominal pain and vomiting for 1 month. Physical examination revealed right iliac fossa tenderness and mild abdominal distension, with imaging suggesting a mesenteric cyst. Laparoscopic exploration identified a mass attached to the ileocecal region, necessitating right hemicolectomy. Histopathology confirmed an ileocecal duplication cyst. Most EDCs are diagnosed within the first two years of life, making this a rare late presentation. This case underscores the importance of considering EDCs in older children with vague abdominal symptoms. Although imaging aids evaluation, surgical exploration remains essential for definitive diagnosis and treatment. Laparoscopic resection effectively prevents complications such as obstruction or perforation.
