Laparoscopic-assisted resection of long-segment small bowel duplication: a rare case report and review of literature.
Review in BMC pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundSmall bowel duplication is a rare congenital gastrointestinal malformation in children that can present in various ways and often lead to misdiagnosis. Laparoscopic surgery has gradually become the preferred treatment method because of its minimal invasive advantages. In this case, we report a child with small bowel duplication who underwent resection of the duplicated bowel segment with laparoscopic assistance. CASE PRESENTATION: An 8-year-old male patient was admitted with "abdominal pain for 20 days." After admission, abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) scans suggested a small bowel lesion, possibly Meckel's diverticulum. Following comprehensive preoperative evaluations, we performed single-site laparoscopic exploration via the umbilicus. Intraoperatively, long segment (60 cm) small bowel duplication was identified, and laparoscopic-assisted resection of the duplicated bowel was performed, with good postoperative recovery.
conclusionsLong segment small bowel duplication in children is extremely rare and poses significant diagnostic challenges. Complete surgical resection of the duplicated bowel is crucial. The single-site umbilical laparoscopic technique can be used to manage complex small bowel duplications safely and effectively, especially in pediatric patients.
