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 duplication cysts (IDCs) are rare congenital anomalies, most commonly arising in the small intestine. A particularly uncommon subtype, completely isolated duplication cysts (CIDCs), has an independent blood supply and lacks communication with the native bowel. Although IDCs are typically benign, malignant transformation-including low-grade mucinous neoplasms (LGMNs)-has been reported only rarely. A Caucasian male with a history of infant colostomy for ileus, later reversed, presented with an abdominal wall mass at the former stoma site. Imaging demonstrated a well-encapsulated cystic lesion originating above the posterior rectus sheath, and complete surgical excision was achieved uneventfully. Histopathology revealed a mucin-secreting epithelial lining with low-grade dysplasia, consistent with LGMN, with immunohistochemistry excluding alternative gastrointestinal neoplasms. The patient recovered without complications and showed no recurrence on follow-up. This represents the first documented CIDC with LGMN in the abdominal wall, highlighting the importance of early identification and surgical management.
