Neonatal duodenal atresia with heterotopic pancreas: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in 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
Background: Heterotopic pancreas (HP) is a congenital anomaly characterized by pancreatic tissue entirely separate from the orthotopic pancreas, lacking direct ductal communication and vascular continuity. HP is most frequently found in the upper gastrointestinal tract, particularly the stomach, duodenum, and proximal jejunum, while involvement of the mesentery is relatively rare. Case presentation: We report a case of congenital duodenal atresia with concomitant HP in a 3-day-old neonate. Emergency laparotomy was performed at 72 h of life for membranous duodenal atresia; web excision and duodenoduodenostomy were completed. Preoperative evaluation showed no other associated malformations (e.g., congenital heart disease or Down syndrome). Intraoperatively, a 10.0 × 6.0 mm focus of HP tissue was unexpectedly found at the jejunal mesenteric boundary, approximately 5-7 cm distal to the duodenal obstruction, necessitating Conclusions: Given the potential association between HP and duodenal atresia in asymptomatic cases, we propose systematic screening for HP in all neonates with this condition. If identified, concurrent prophylactic resection of the HP lesion during the repair of duodenal atresia is recommended to mitigate the risk of long-term complications, including pancreatitis and gastrointestinal bleeding.
