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

Intestinal bands in a virgin abdomen with no prior surgery and/or chronic inflammation are considered congenital in origin. A category of these bands, also known as anomalous bands, has an unexplained origin and is a very rare cause of intestinal obstruction in adults. It is even rarer to find 2 of these bands in a single patient. To the best of our knowledge, only 1 case has been reported so far. We present the second case of intestinal obstruction in a young female caused by 2 anomalous congenital bands successfully managed by laparotomy and band resection. Our report highlights the imaging features of congenital intestinal bands, as well as the importance of considering them as an underlying cause of obstruction in adults.
