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

Pyloric atresia (PA) is an exceptionally rare congenital cause of gastric outlet obstruction, often associated with syndromic conditions such as epidermolysis bullosa (EB). This case highlights a diagnostically challenging presentation of *non-syndromic pyloric atresia* in a neonate, complicated by a moderate mid-muscular ventricular septal defect (VSD), metabolic acidosis, and physiologic hydronephrosis, without any cutaneous manifestations. Initial hypotonia and respiratory irregularities diverted suspicion toward neurological or septic etiologies, delaying definitive diagnosis. Imaging, including upper gastrointestinal contrast study and echocardiography, confirmed the diagnosis of complete gastric outlet obstruction due to PA and coexisting VSD. The patient underwent successful gastro-duodenostomy with resolution of symptoms and stable postoperative recovery. This case underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for gastrointestinal obstruction in neonates with polyhydramnios and early feeding intolerance, even in the absence of classic syndromic features. Comprehensive, multidisciplinary evaluation-incorporating pediatric surgery, neonatology, and cardiology-is essential to address overlapping congenital anomalies and optimize outcomes. This report contributes to the limited literature on non-syndromic PA with multisystem involvement.
