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

Objective: To summarize the diagnosis and treatment experience of small intestinal duplication malformations in our hospital. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 90 children undergoing surgery for intestinal duplication malformations at our hospital from October 2019 to October 2024. All patients underwent transumbilical single-site laparoscopic-assisted resection. A 1.5 cm longitudinal umbilical incision was made, followed by layered dissection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Two 5 mm trocars were placed at the incision edges to establish CO Results: All surgeries succeeded (duration: 45-95 min). Oral intake resumed within 1-4 days, and discharge occurred at 5-14 days postoperatively. Enucleation was performed in 74 cases, while bowel resection with anastomosis was required in 16 cases (including 5 terminal ileal resections with anastomosis 1.5-2 cm from the ileocecal valve). No complications (incisional infection, anastomotic leakage, stenosis, adhesive bowel obstruction, or incisional hernia) occurred. Pathology confirmed intestinal duplication malformations. Conclusion: Intestinal duplication malformations predominantly affect the terminal ileum. Enucleation is optimal, but resection-anastomosis is safe when enucleation is difficult, avoiding enterostomy and reducing patient discomfort. Single-site laparoscopy offers minimal invasiveness and excellent cosmetic outcomes.
