Case Report: Giant congenital transmesenteric hernia in a 6-month-old infant: a case of delayed recognition and critical diagnostic lessons.

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
Congenital transmesenteric hernia, a rare internal hernia, is notoriously challenging to diagnose preoperatively due to nonspecific symptoms and inconclusive routine evaluations. In infants, early manifestations such as vomiting, irritability, and diarrhea often mimic acute gastroenteritis, leading to delayed recognition. Without timely intervention, progression to intestinal strangulation, necrosis, and shock significantly escalates treatment complexity and mortality risk. We report a case of a 6-month-old female infant with approximately 131 cm of necrotic small bowel secondary to a giant transmesenteric hernia. This case illustrates the clinical trajectory, diagnostic pitfalls, and surgical management, highlighting the imperative for early suspicion and intervention. Critical analysis of this case underscores that prompt surgical correction is pivotal to mitigate morbidity and mortality in such scenarios. Enhanced clinician awareness of this condition and its subtle early signs could improve outcomes in pediatric patients.
