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 and Aims: Duodenal duplications are rare congenital anomalies that can cause gastrointestinal obstruction. Although surgical resection is the standard treatment, endoscopic alternatives are increasingly being explored. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided anastomosis techniques have shown promise in treating gastrointestinal obstructions. However, their application in cases of duodenal duplication with obstruction remains technically challenging. We present a case where EUS-guided duodenojejunostomy (EUS-DJ) successfully resolved the duodenal obstruction caused by a duodenal duplication. Methods: A 50-year-old woman with refractory vomiting and severe electrolyte imbalance was diagnosed with a cystic-communicating duodenal duplication causing duodenal obstruction. As the patient declined surgical intervention, we performed an EUS-DJ. Under EUS guidance, a 19-gauge needle was used to puncture the jejunum via the duodenal cavity, followed by placement of a 15 × 10-mm lumen-apposing metal stent to establish a duodenojejunal bypass. Results: The patient resumed oral intake by postoperative day 3 and was discharged on day 5. One-month imaging confirmed stent patency and resolution of fluid accumulation. She remained symptom-free at 3-month follow-up. Conclusions: EUS-DJ appears to be a feasible and effective minimally invasive option for managing symptomatic duodenal duplication cysts, particularly in patients who are poor surgical candidates or decline surgery.
