Atypical presentation of congenital diaphragmatic hernia with gastric ischemia and coffee-ground emesis in late infancy: a case report and literature review.

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
backgroundCongenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is typically diagnosed in the prenatal or immediate postnatal period. Late-presenting CDH is rare and can have varied, nonspecific symptoms. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is an uncommon initial manifestation. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of an 11-month-old male infant with respiratory distress and coffee-ground emesis. Initial imaging revealed a large left-sided diaphragmatic hernia with mediastinal shift. Laparotomy showed herniation of stomach, small intestine, and spleen, with gastric ischemia and subcapsular splenic hematoma. Resection of the ischemic gastric segment and diaphragmatic repair were performed. The postoperative course was uneventful until a febrile episode revealed a urinary tract infection and moderate to severe left-sided hydronephrosis.
conclusionThis case highlights the importance of considering late-presenting CDH in the differential diagnosis of upper GI bleeding and respiratory distress in infants, and the need for thorough evaluation of associated anomalies. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for diaphragmatic hernia in infants with unexplained GI bleeding and respiratory distress.
