Congenital mesocolon anomaly, omental band, and Meckel's diverticulum: a unique case of a small bowel obstruction.

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
With advancements in modern imaging, unexpected intraoperative findings are increasingly rare. We present the case of a 35-year-old female with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus and obesity, on home glucagon-like peptide-1 medication for weight loss, who presented with abdominal pain and imaging findings consistent with mesenteric swirling concerning for an internal hernia and a small bowel obstruction. During exploratory laparotomy, a necrotic omental band was discovered encircling the base of the small and large bowel mesentery. In addition, the entire colon was found to be freely mobile, consistent with congenital mesocolon anomaly. An incidental Meckel's diverticulum was also identified. Fortunately, all bowel was viable. The necrotic omentum and Meckel's diverticulum were resected, and the patient recovered uneventfully. This case highlights multiple coincidental rare intraoperative findings and discusses our approach to management.
