A case of congenital total intestinal atresia in a neonate: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionIntestinal atresia is the complete occlusion of the intestinal lumen at various parts of the intestine. It has the potential to cause intestinal failure. Two mechanisms are suggested: failure of recanalization and/or accidental injury. This case report aims to discuss an exceptionally rare case of congenital total intestinal atresia. CASE PRESENTATION: A 1-day-old male neonate, Tigrian ethnic of Ethiopia born at term, was brought to our hospital with the complaint of repeated vomiting and abdominal distension soon after birth. On examination, he had stable vital signs and a minimally distended abdomen. Abdominal imaging showed features of intestinal obstruction. With a preoperative impression of jejunal atresia, he underwent exploratory laparotomy. The findings were a type IIIa jejunal atresia in addition to an atretic intestine starting from half of the jejunum to the rectum, along with a distended stomach, duodenum, and blind-end jejunum. Decompressive jejunostomy was performed.
conclusionTotal intestinal atresia is an extremely rare and fatal condition in our setting. Future investigations are required to examine early prenatal detection for effective intervention and prevention.
