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 diaphragmatic hernia is usually diagnosed prenatally and surgically repaired within the first few days of life. It is very rarely associated with acute gastric volvulus, an uncommon surgical emergency in children. A male infant with atypical presentation of acute gastric volvulus was diagnosed and treated by a swift-acting team across two medical centers. The patient presented with generalized abdominal distention and non-productive retching. Upper gastrointestinal series diagnosed acute gastric volvulus. During laparoscopic intervention, the volvulized stomach and the spleen were identified within an undiagnosed congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Corrective surgery was performed, and the patient tolerated a regular diet within days and continues to do well. Given the emergent nature of acute gastric volvulus in children, a high index of suspicion is warranted to quickly initiate potentially life-saving diagnostics and treatment. Topics: Acute gastric volvulus, diaphragmatic hernia, pediatric.
