1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Congenital intra-abdominal masses can stem from various etiologies. However, the differential diagnoses in the presence of meconium peritonitis are primarily narrow to gastrointestinal disorders such as cystic fibrosis, Hirschsprung's disease, and colonic atresia. Additionally, literature has documented rare associations, including maternal hepatitis A infection. We present a case of a premature female infant born via cesarean section to a 25-year-old mother with adequate prenatal care. The mother had a history of flu-like symptoms and diarrhea during the first trimester and routine third-trimester pelvic sonogram findings raised concerns for fetal bowel obstruction or a pelvic mass accompanied by polyhydramnios. The infant presented with a rare occurrence of meconium peritonitis associated with maternal hepatitis A infection. This case is presented to engage and intrigue the medical community. In addition, it suggests that intrauterine exposure to the hepatitis A virus may contribute to fetal intra-abdominal vascular accidents, causing meconium peritonitis.
